Answer» LET, A TAKE 'a' days to complete 100% work. B take 'b' days to complete 100% work. I. 20% by A and 80% by B : 20% of work by A => A took a/5 days 80% of work by B => B took 4b/5 days So, (a/5) + (4b/5) = 20 => a+4b = 100 ---->(1) II. 80% by A and 20% by B : 80% of work by A => A took 4a/5 days 20% of work by B => B took b/5 days So, (4a/5) + (b/5) = 30 => 4a+b = 150 ---> (2) Solving (1) and (2), we GET , a = 100/3 days , b = 50/3 days A's one-day work = 3/100 and B's one-day work = 3/50 Thus, A and B's one-day work (combined) = 3/100 + 3/50 = 9/100 Thus they WOULD take 100/9 = 11 1/9 days to complete the work.
