Question

child takes 5 days more than the time taken by a man to finish a piece of work is both a man and a Child together can finish the work in 6 days find the time taken by men and the child to finish the work separately

Answer 1

Let the days taken by the man to complete the work be = x days

So, the days taken by child to complete the work = x + 5 days

The days taken by both of them to complete the work = 6 days

x + (x+5) = 6

2x + 5 = 60

2x = 55

x = 27.5 days
