Solution

Given that

NumberofhoursinwhichAcanfinishajob=12hours

NumberofhoursinwhichBcanfinishajob=14hours

They work alternatively starting from A.A earns Rs.15/hr
Work done

Totalwork=L.C.Mof (A’s hours, B’s hours)

=L.C.M.of(12,14)=84units

NumberofunitsdonebyA=84/12=7

NumberofunitsdonebyB=84/14=6

Since A and B working alternatively starting with A'’.

So, 7+6=13 units done in 2days by Aand B alternatively.

And we need to do 84 units of work.

First, we will try to find the multiple of 13 which is nearest to 84. i.e. 78 units.
