Question 1 Back to Exercise

A can finish a job in 10 days and B in 15 days. How long will they take working together?

  • A 12.5 days
  • B 25 days
  • C 5 days
  • D 6 days Correct
Correct Answer: Option D

LCM method: job = 30 units

A = 3 units a day, B = 2 units a day

Together = 5 units a day

Days = 30 ÷ 5 = 6

Trap: averaging 10 and 15 gives 12.5.

Answer: 6 days
