Q:

P can complete a work in 12 days working 8 hours a day.Q can complete the same work in 8 days working 10 hours a day. If both p and Q work together,working 8 hours a day,in how many days can they complete the work?

A) 60/11 B) 61/11
C) 71/11 D) 72/11

Answer:   A) 60/11



Explanation:

P can complete the work in (12 x 8) hrs = 96 hrs 

Q can complete the work in (8 x 10) hrs=80 hrs 

Therefore, P's 1 hour work=1/96   and Q's 1 hour work= 1/80

(P+Q)'s 1 hour's work =(1/96) + (1/80) = 11/480. So both P and Q will finish the work in 480/11 hrs  

Therefore, Number of days of 8 hours each = (480/11) x (1/8) = 60/11
