SSC CPO - 10 Nov 2022 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q134

A can complete a work in 8 days and B can complete the same work in 11 days. How long will they take, if both work together?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 4121912\over 19 days

Given that

A * 8 = B * 11

A/B = 11/8

Total work = 11 * 8 = 88 days

They will take if both work together = 88/(11 + 8) = 88/19 =  4121912\over 19 days
