A alone can reap a certain field in 15 days and b in 12 days. If a begins alone and after a certain interval b joins him the field is reaped in 712 days. How long did a and b work together?

Answered by admin @



A and B work together for 6 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that A alone can reap a certain field in 15 days and b in 12 days.

Therefore, the work done of A for 1 day is \frac{1}{15}

The work done of B for 1 day is \frac{1}{12}

Work done of A and B for 1 day is \frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{3}{20}

a begins alone and after a certain interval b joins him the field is reaped in 7 1/2 days.

7\frac{1}{2}=7.5

Let A work of x days then they work together for 7.5-x days.

\frac{3}{20}(7.5 - x) + \frac{1}{15} x= 1

Multiply both side by 60.

9(7.5 - x) +4x= 60

67.5 -9 x+4x= 60

-5x=-7.5

x=1.5

They work together for 7.5-x days.

7.5-1.5=6

Hence, A and B work together for 6 days.
