Question

Sneha can complete a work in $36$ days. Rashmi can complete the same work in $24$ days. If both work together, then they will be able to complete the work approximately.

Answer 1

Work done by Sneha in one day$=\frac{1}{36}$

Work done by Rashmi in one day$=\frac{1}{24}$

Total work done by both in one day$=\frac{1}{36}+\frac{1}{24}$

$=\frac{1}{12}(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2})$

$=\frac{5}{72}$

$\therefore$Time taken by both to complete the work$=\frac{72}{5}$ days

$=14\frac{2}{5}$ days
