SSC Selection Post 2022 PYQ — Question 73

SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level 2022 - 2 Aug 2022 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q73

Amit can complete a piece of work in 4 days and Raju can complete the same in 6 days. How long will they take, if both Amit and Raju work together?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 2252{2\over5} .

LCM of 4 and 6 = 12 units (Assume total work = 12 units)

Amit’s efficiency = 12/4 = 3 units/day

Raju’s efficiency = 12/6 = 2 units/day

Together: 3 + 2 = 5 units/day

Time = 12/5 = 2252{2\over5}  days
