This Question has 1 answers.
Time taken by Q to complete a job = 12 days
P is twice as efficient.
∴ Time taken by P to complete the job = 12/2 = 6 days
Work done by Q in 1 day = 1/12
Work done by P in 1 day = 1/6
Work done in 1 day = 1/12 + 1/6 = 3/12 = ¼
∴ Time taken by to complete the work together = 4 days.Similar Questions
