A and b can comolete a work alone in 18 days and 24 days respectively . if b started wirk alone and after 3 days a also joined then in how many days whole work will ne completed

Answer»

PERSON A can complete the work in 18 days

⇒ 1 DAY = 1/18 of the work


Person B can complete the work in 24 days

⇒ 1 day = 1/24 of the work


Person B worked ALONE for 3 days

⇒ Work completed = 1/24 x 3 = 3/24 = 1/8


Work LEFT to do = 1 - 1/8 = 7/8


Person A and Person B worked together:

1 day = 1/18 + 1/24 = 7/72


Number of days needed = 7/8 ÷ 7/72 = 9 days


Total number of days needed = 3 + 9 = 12 days.


Answer: 12 days
