Ravi can complete a task in 6 days and Mohan can complete the same task in 9 days. In how many days can Ravi and Mohan together complete the same task?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e days.

Understanding/Application 

Let the total work be x.

Ravi complete work in 6 days.

Work done by Ravi in 1 day = x/6

Mohan complete work in 9 days.

Work done by Mohan in 1 day = x/9

Work done by Ravi and Mohan in 1 day together = x/6 + x/9 = 5x/18

Number of days in which Ravi and Mohan will complete the work = x/5x/18 = 18/5 = 3(3/5) days
