Jagdish can build a wall in 10 days
⇒ 1 day = 1/10
Narender can build same wall in 12 days
⇒ 1 day = 1/12
Sumit can build same wall in 15 days
⇒ 1 day = 1/15
Number of days need if Jagdish and Narender need to finish the work:
1 day = 1/10 + 1/12 = 11/60
Number of days needed = 60 ÷ 11 = 5.45 days
Number of days need if Narender and Sumit need to finish the work:
1 day = 1/12 + 1/15 = 3/20
Number of days needed = 20 ÷ 3 = 6.67 days
Number of days need if Jagdish and Sumit need to finish the work:
1 day = 1/10 + 1/15 = 1/6
Number of days needed = 6 ÷ 1 = 6 days
Answer: Jagdish and Sumit should be employed if they want the job to be completed in 6 days.
