Q:

Concept of Efficiency

A can do a job in 12 days and B can do the same job in 6 days, in how many days working together they can complete the job?

Answer

A's 1 days work = 1/12

B's 1 days work =1/6

Therefore, (A+B)'s 1 day's work= 1/12 + 1/6 = 1/4

Therefore, Time taken by both to finish the whole work = $\frac{1}{\frac{1}{4}}$ = 4 days

Alternatively :

Efficiency of A =100/12 =8.33%

Efficiency of B =100/6=16.66%

Combined efficiency of A and B both = 8.33+16.66=25%

Therefore, Time taken by both to finish the work (working together) =100/25= 4days
