A Can Do (1/3) Of A Work In 5 Days And B Can Do (2/5) Of The Work In 10 Days. In How Many Days Both A And B Together Can Do The Work?

Answer»

1/3 of work is DONE by A in 5 days

Therefore, whole work will be done by A in 15 days 

2/5 of work is done by B in 10 days 

Whole work will be done by B in (10 x 5/2) i.e.., 25 days 

Therefore (A + B)’s 1 DAY’s work = (1/15 + 1/25) = 8/75 

So both together can finish 75/8 days i.e.., 9 3/8 days.
