Answer 1

Answer:

• Their ratio is 3:4.

Given:

• Two tops a and b ratio is 2:3.

To Find:

• Ratio of time taken by a and b respectively.

Solution:

The working rate of A:B is 4:3.

Let the common factor be x.

Let the amount of work done by A in a single day is 4x.

Let the amount of work done by B in a single day is 3x.

The total amount of work be 12x.

So A takes 12x/4x = 3 days

And B takes 12x/3x = 4 days

Their ratio is 3:4.
