Answer» Answer: SECOND PERSON ALONE WILL TAKE 60 DAYS TO COMPLETE THE WORK. Step-by-step explanation: two person shall always take less time then one person so i have exchanged 12 and 10.(can be don without changing also) let work done in 1 day by first person = 1/x and work done in 1 day by other person = 1/y 1/x + 1/y = 1/10 ---------- eqn 1 1/x = 1/12 --------- eqn 2 eqn 2 in eqn 1 therefore, 1/12 + 1/y = 1/10 1/y = 1/10 - 1/12 1/y = 6/60 - 5/60 1/y = 1/60 y= 60 days |
