Solution

The correct option is A $6$
We should use $r a t e = \frac{w o r k}{t i m e}$

Rahul's rate $= \frac{(\frac{1}{2})}{6} = \frac{1}{12}$

Rohit's rate $= \frac{(\frac{1}{4})}{2} = \frac{1}{8}$

Now, combined rate of Rahul and Rohit is $\frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{8}$

$= \frac{2}{24} + \frac{3}{24} = \frac{5}{24}$

How many days does it take them, working together, to finish the job?
$W o r k = 1$
When work is $1$ , rate and time are inversely proportional (OR)
$t i m e = \frac{1}{r a t e}$

$t i m e = \frac{1}{(\frac{5}{24})}$

$t i m e = \frac{24}{5} = 4 \frac{4}{5} d a y s$
