A and B together can complete a work in 12 days. A alone can complete it in 20 days. If B does the work only for half a day daily, then in how many days A and B together will complete the work?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

B's one day work =1/12−1/20=1/30= 1/12 - 1/20 = 1/30. Working half a day, B contributes 1/601/60 per day.

Combined daily work =1/20+1/60=4/60=1/15= 1/20 + 1/60 = 4/60 = 1/15.

So the work finishes in 15 days.
