A can complete a wire fencing in 8 days and B can destroy that wire fencing in 16 days, then find out the number of days to complete half of the wire fencing if they both work simultaneously.1. 62. 73. 84. 9

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 8

Given :

A can complete the work in 8 days

B can destroy the work in 16 days 

Calculations :

A's one-day work = 1/8 

B's one day work = 1/16 

Total work for the day = (1/8) - (1/16) (B's work taken negatively because it is damaging the work)

⇒ = (1/8) - (1/16) = 1/16

One day's work = 1/16 

So the total number of days = 16 

Half of the work will take = 16/2 = 8 days 

∴ 8 days will be taken by them to complete half wire fencing
