Question

ayesha can complete a piece of work in 16 days. abidha can complete the same piece of work in 8 days. if both of them work together then in how many days can they complete the same piece of work?

Answer 1

$\bold{Hey \: Mate \: !}$

Ayesha can complete a piece of work in 16 days.

Ayesha's one day work = 1/16

Abidha can do a work in 8 days.

Abidha's one day work = 1/8

Work done by ayesha and abidha together =

$\frac{1}{16} + \frac{1}{8} \\ \\ \frac{1 + 2}{16} \\ \\ \frac{3}{16}$

Hence, the work will be completed in

$\bold{ \frac{16}{3} = 5 \frac{1}{3} }$


Thanks for the question!
