Question

Chetan alone can do a work in 6 days working 5 hours a day. Rashmi alone can do the same work in 2 days working 10 hours a day. How many hours do they need to work together in a day to complete the same work in 4 days?

A.

2.5 hours

B.

5 hours

C.

4 hours

D.

3 hours

Correct option is D

Given:
Chetan can complete the work in 6 days working 5 hours a day.
Rashmi can complete the same work in 2 days working 10 hours a day.
Formula used:
Total work = Efficiency×\times Total time
Solution:
Total hours Rashmi works to complete the job: 2×10 = 20 hr 
​Total hours Chetan works to complete the job: 6×5 = 30 hr
LCM of 20 and 30 = 60 
Let total work be 60 unit
Then, efficiency of Rashmi = 6020=3 unit/hour\frac{60}{20}=3 \, unit/hour 
efficiency of Chetan = 6030=2 unit/hour\frac{60}{30}=2 \, unit/hour 
Total efficiency of Rashmi and Chetan = 3+2 = 5 unit/hour
Now, Total work in 4 days is = 4×\times​ 5 = 20 unit 
So, required per day hour  =  6020=3 hour\frac{60}{20}= 3 \, hour 
Thus, correct option is (d).
