Question

Ajay is twice efficient as vijay. If vijay can complete the work in 48 days, find the number days to complete the work if both work together.

Answer 1

I think it's 36 days

Answer 2

In 144 days, Vijay can finish the Work

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let work done by Vijay in 1 day = x  

• Then, work is done by Ajay in 1 day = 2x

Therefore, work is done by Ajay and Vijay in 1 day = x + 2x = 3x

Given,

• Ajay and Vijay can finish the work in 48 days

Work done by Ajay and Vijay in 1 day =  3x = $\frac {1}{48}$

$x = \frac {1}{144}$

Therefore, Vijay alone can finish the work in 144 days
