Question

Rakish can complete a job in 6 days Ram can complete it in x days if both can complete the same job in 4 days then find the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

Rakesh is able to complete a job in 6 days. Then, in one day he is able to complete 1/6th of the work. Hence, Rakesh work rate is 1/6.

Ram can finish the work in x days. Then, he is able to complete 1/x th work in one day. Hence, the work rate for Ram in 1/x.

Both of them together complete the work in 4 days. If they work together, in one day, 1/4th of the work is done.

Now,we can write the equation as :

=1/6 + 1/x = 1/4

= 1/x = 1/4 - 1/6

= 1/x = 1/12

Hence, Ram completes the work in 12 days.

Hope it helps!
