SSC Selection Post - Higher Secondary Level - 28 June 2023 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q73

Maya completes ​​​​​​7/1​0 of a work in 15 days and then she completes the remaining work with the help of Suresh in 4 days. In how many days can Maya and Suresh complete the whole work?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 403\frac{40}{3}.

Maya's rate = (7/10)/15 = 7/150

Remaining work = 3/10

Combined rate (Maya + Suresh) = (3/10)/4 = 3/40

Time for whole work = 1/(3/40) = 40/3 days
