    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.
