Open in App
Solution

We will solve this using the LCM technique.
A takes 4 days to complete the work
B takes T days to complete the work
then total work will be 4*T =4T units
A=4T/4 units = T units
B= T/4T = 1/4 units
the time taken by A and B work together =1/4+T= 8/3
SOLVING
( 1+4T)/4=8/3
1+4T=8
4T =7
T=7/4
