Q1: A can complete a work in 10 days, B in 15 days. In how many days will they complete the work together?
Solution:
Let total work = LCM of 10, 15 = 30 units
A’s efficiency = 30/10 = 3 units/day
B’s efficiency = 30/15 = 2 units/day
Combined efficiency = 3 + 2 = 5 units/day
Time taken = 30/5 = 6 days
Answer: 6 days
