Answer: 9.6 days
Explanation:
Rashid can do a piece of work in 8 days. Rashid work rate will then be:
= 1/8 owe day.
Tipu can finish in 12 days. Tipu's work rate will be: = 1/12 owe day.
Their work rate together will then be:
= 1/8 + 1/12
= 3/24 + 2/24
= 5/24
From the calculation, together they will finish the work in:
= 1 ÷ 5/24
= 1 × 24/5
= 24/5 days
= 4.8 days
Busy since they are working on alternate days, then this will be multiplied by 2 which will be:
= 4.8 × 2
= 9.6 days
