Data:

Manoj did 1/10

Kumar did 1/8

Kiran did 1/20

How much work did they finish working together?

Add the fractions as follow:


\begin{gathered} (a)/(b)\pm(c)/(d)=(ad\pm bc)/(bd) \\ \\ \\ (1)/(10)+(1)/(8)=(8+10)/(80)=(18)/(80)=(9)/(40) \\ \\ (9)/(40)+(1)/(20)=(180+40)/(800)=(220)/(800)=(11)/(40) \end{gathered}

If the remaining part of the work is finished by Arun, what part of work is done by Arum?

Takes the total work as a unit (1), then subtract 11/40 from 1:


1-(11)/(40)=(40-11)/(40)=(29)/(40)

Then, Arum needs to do 29/40 part of the work to finish it,
