A man can finish a work in 10 days and a woman can finish it in 12 days. In how many days will the work be finished by a man and a woman, working together every day?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 6011\frac{60}{11}.

We know that,

Total work = Number of days × Efficiency

Now, according to the question

Work done by a man in one day = 1/10

Work done by a woman in one day = 1/12

Working together = 1/10 + 1/12 = 11/60

They will together complete the work = 60/11 days
