Question

Sugita can do 1/4 part of a work in a day and Ranju can do 1/3 part in 1 day. How much work would they do in 1 day of they work together

Answer 1

Sugita can do 1/4 part of a work in a day.

Her rate is;

`(1)/(4)\text{work / day}`

Ranju can do 1/3 part in 1 day;

His rate is;

`(1)/(3)\text{work / day}`

If they worked together for a day, they would do;

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(4)+(1)/(3)=(3+4)/(12) \\ =(7)/(12)\text{work / day} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, if they worked together, they would do 7/12 of the work in one day.
