A can do 1/3 of a work in 5 days and B can do 2/5 of the work in 10 days. In how many days both A and B together can do the work?

  • A.7 1/2 days
  • B.8 4/5 days
  • C.9 3/8 days
  • D.10 days

Answer: C

A can do the full work in \(5 \times 3 = 15\) days. B can do the full work in \(10 \times 5/2 = 25\) days. A's 1 day work = 1/15. B's 1 day work = 1/25. Together, their 1 day work = \(1/15 + 1/25 = (5+3)/75 = 8/75\). They will take 75/8 = 9 3/8 days.
