Correct option is B
Given:
Two workers A and B can complete a work in 35 days and 45 days
B alone completed the remaining work in 29 days
Formula Used:
Work = Time × Efficiency
Solution:
Let total work = LCM of 35 and 45 = 315 unit
Efficiency of A =
Efficiency of B =
Let the number of days for which A and B worked together be x.
Efficency when A and B work together = 9 + 7 = 16
Then, x × 16 + 29 × 7 = 315
=> 16x = 315 - 203 = 112
Or, x = = 7 days.
∴ A and B worked together for 7 days.
Alternate Solution:
Let total work = LCM of 35 and 45 = 315 unit
Efficiency of A =
Efficiency of B =
Work done by B in 29 days = 29 × 7 = 203 unit
Remaining Work = 315-203 = 112 unit
This work has to be done by A and B together in = = 7 days.
