6.25 days.
Let’s use x to represent the amount of work needed to complete the job.
’a’ is the amount of work done by worker A in one day.
’b’ is the amount of work done by worker B in one day.
By the wording of the question, we know that:
5a + 5b = x
(3a) 2 + (3b)/3 = x
Since both equations are equal to the same value (x), we can set them equal to each other, and solve for b in terms of a.
5a + 5b = (3a)2 + (3b)/3
5a + 5b = 6a + b (simplify the right side)
4b = a (subtract 5a and b from each side)
b = a/4
We now know that A works 4 times faster than B.
By inserting our value for b (in terms of a) into the very first equation, we get:
5a + 5b = x
5a + 5(a/4) = x
(5 + 5/4)a = x
6.25a = x
So worker A can do the same job alone in 6.25 days.
