B is 20% efficient than A. B started the work & do it for x days. And then B is replaced by A. And A completed the remaining work in x+8 days. The ratio of work done by A & B is 3:2. In how many days A & B working together to complete the whole work?
150/11 days
140/13 days
120/12 days
100/33 days
75/12 days
A's 1 day's work = 5 unit
B's 1 day's work = 120% A = 6unit
Work done by B = 6x unit
Work done by A = 5(x + 8) = 5x + 40 unit
As per Question:
=
10x + 80 = 18x
8x = 80
x = 10
Then;
Total work to be done = 6x + 5x + 40 = 150 unit
Time taken by A and B in completing the whole work together = = = days
