Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- (Alok + Armaan)’s 1st day work $ =\frac{1}{24}+\frac{1}{30}=\frac{3}{40} $
(Alok + Arun)’s 2nd day work $ =\frac{1}{24}+\frac{1}{60}=\frac{7}{120} $
2 day’s work $ =\frac{3}{40}+\frac{7}{120}=\frac{2}{15} $ days
Whole work is done $ =2\div \frac{2}{15} $
$ =\frac{2\times 15}{2}=15days $
