    Jaggu can make one wooden chair in 3 days and Rabbu can make the same cair in 4 days. If they work together, in how many days will they make 14 chairs
    Question

    Jaggu can make one wooden chair in 3 days and Rabbu can make the same cair in 4 days. If they work together, in how many days will they make 14 chairs of the same kind?

    A.

    18 days

    B.

    16 days

    C.

    24 days

    D.

    20 days

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    Jaggu can make one wooden chair = 3 days

    Rabbu can make the same cair = 4 days. 

    Solution:

    Jaggu makes 1 chair in 3 days, so Jaggu's work rate is: 

    Jaggu’s rate=1 chair3 days=13 chairs per day\text{Jaggu's rate} = \frac{1 \text{ chair}}{3 \text{ days}} = \frac{1}{3} \text{ chairs per day}

    Rabbu makes 1 chair in 4 days, so Rabbu's work rate is:

    Rabbu’s rate=1 chair4 days=14 chairs per day\text{Rabbu's rate} = \frac{1 \text{ chair}}{4 \text{ days}} = \frac{1}{4} \text{ chairs per day} 

    When they work together, their combined work rate is the sum of their individual rates:

    Combined rate=13+14\text{Combined rate} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} 

    To add these fractions, we find a common denominator (which is 12): 

    13+14=(4+3)12=712\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{(4+3)}{12}= \frac{7}{12} 

    Combined rate = 712 \frac{7}{12} Chairs per day

    To find how many days it will take them to make 14 chairs, we divide the total number of chairs by their combined rate:

    Time to make 14 chairs=14 chairs712 chairs per day=14×127=24 days\text{Time to make 14 chairs} = \frac{14 \text{ chairs}}{\frac{7}{12} \text{ chairs per day}} = 14 \times \frac{12}{7} = 24 \text{ days} 

    Thus, Jaggu and Rabbu will take 24 days to make 14 chairs when working together.​

    13=412,14=312\frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{12}, \quad \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{12}
