Two persons A and B can complete a piece of work in 15 days and 30 days respectively. If they work together, what part of the work will be completed in 5 days?
Answer/Solution
1/2
Steps/Work
A's one day's work = 1/15
B's one day's work = 1/30
(A + B)'s one day's work = 1/15 + 1/30 = 1/10
The part of the work completed in 5 days = 5 (1/10) = 1/2.
Answer:D
B's one day's work = 1/30
(A + B)'s one day's work = 1/15 + 1/30 = 1/10
The part of the work completed in 5 days = 5 (1/10) = 1/2.
Answer:D
