Question

If Rama can do a task in 20 days and Krishna can do it in 30 days, then the time taken by both to complete the task working together is:

A.

12 days

B.

8 days

C.

15 days

D.

10 days

Correct option is A

Given:

Rama can complete the task in 20 days.

Krishna can complete the task in 30 days.

Formula Used:

T=1(1T1+1T2)T = \frac{1}{\left(\frac{1}{T_1} + \frac{1}{T_2}\right)}​​

WhereT1and T2 are the individual times taken by Rama and Krishna.

Solution:

Rama's work rate =120 task/day\frac{1}{20} \, \text{task/day}​ 

Krishna's work rate = 130 task/day\frac{1}{30} \, \text{task/day}

Combined work rate =120+130=360+260=560=112 task/day\frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{30} = \frac{3}{60} + \frac{2}{60} = \frac{5}{60} = \frac{1}{12} \, \text{task/day}

T=1112=12 daysT = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{12}} = 12 \, \text{days}

Thus time taken by Rama and Krishna to complete the task together is 12 days.
