A and B can do a piece of work in 6 and 12 days, respectively. They (both) will complete the work in how many days?
A) 9 days
B) 18 days
C) 6 days
D) 4 days
Correct answer:
D) 4 days
Description for Correct answer:
A's 1 day's work = 1 / 6
B's 1 day's work = 1 / 12
(A + B)'s 1 day's work =\( \Large\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{12} \)
\( \Large\frac{2 + 1}{12} = \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}\)
Hence, both will complete the work in 4 days.
