    Question

    Rina can complete a piece of work in 6 days while Seema can do the same work in 9 days. If they both work together, then how many days will be required to finish the work?

    A.

    4 days

    B.

    10 days

    C.

    7.3 days

    D.

    3.6 days

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    Rina can complete a piece of work in = 6 days
    Seema can do the same work in = 9 days
    Formula Used:
    Work = time × efficiency
    Solution:
    Total work = LCM of 6 and 9 = 18 unit
    Efficiency of Rina =  186\frac{18}6​= 3

    Efficiency of Seema = 189\frac{18}9​ = 2
    Efficiency of Rina and Seema together = 3 + 2 = 5
    Time taken by them to complete whole work  = 185\frac{18}5​= 3.6 days.
