    Question

    P can complete 15\frac{1}{5} of a work in 12 days and Q can complete 16\frac{1}{6} of a work in 8 days. In how many days can both P and Q together complete the work?

    A.

    2623\frac{2}{3}​​

    B.

    2423\frac{2}{3}​​

    C.

    2545\frac{4}{5}​​

    D.

    2245\frac{4}{5}​​

    Correct option is A

    P can complete 15\frac{1}{5}​ of a work in 12 days.

    Total Work done by P in = 12 × 5 = 60 days

    Q can complete 16\frac{1}{6}​ of a work in 8 days.

    Total Work done by Q in = 8 × 6 = 48days

    Total Work = LCM of 60 and 48 = 240 unit

    Efficiency of P and Q are 24060=4 unit per day and 24048=5 unit per day\frac {240}{60} = 4 \,unit \,per \,day \,and\, \frac{240}{48 } = 5 \,unit\, per\, day​​

    Total time taken by both of them = 2404+5=\frac{240}{4+5 }=​ 2623\frac{2}{3}
