Answer» Let Anil takes x number of days to complete the work ⇒ 1 day = 1/x of the work Sunil takes 5 more days than Anil to complete the work ⇒ x + 5 days ⇒ 1 day = 1/(x + 5) of the work Together: 1 day = 1/x + 1/(x + 5) 1 day = (x + 5 + x)/x(x+5) 1 day = (2x + 5) / (x² + 5x) of work done Find 4 days of work done: 1 day = (2x + 5) / (x² + 5x) 4 days = 4(2x + 5) / (x² + 5x) 4 days = (8x + 20) / (x² + 5x) of work done Find the amount of work left to be done: Work left = 1 - (8x + 20) / (x² + 5x) Work left = (x² + 5x - 8x - 20) / (x² + 5x) Work left = (x² - 3x - 20) / (x² + 5x) Solve x: Give that Anil needs 5 days to complete the rest of the work (x² - 3x - 20) / (x² + 5x) ÷1/(x + 5) = 5 (x² - 3x - 20) / (x² + 5x) × (x + 5) = 5 (x² - 3x - 20) /x = 5 x² - 3x - 20 = 5x x² - 8x - 20 = 0 (x - 10) (x + 2) = 0 x = 10 or x = -2 (Rejected, number of days cannot be negative) Find the number of days each take to complete the work Anil = x = 10 days Sunil = x + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15 days Answer: Anil takes 10 days and Sunil takes 15 days to complete the work. |
