Q:

A and B can do a piece of work in 40 and 50 days. If they work at it an alternate days with A beginning in how many days, the work will be finished ?

Answer

(A+B)'s two days work = 140+150=9200 


 


Evidently, the work done by A and B duing 22 pairs of days 


 


 i.e in 44 days = 22×9200=198200 


 


Remaining work = 1-198200= 1/100


 


 Now on 45th day A will have the turn to do 1/100 of the work and this work A will do in 40×1100=25


 


 Therefore,  Total time taken = 4425daya
