Meghana alone would take 32 hours more to complete a job than both Meghana and Ganesh together. If Ganesh worked alone, he took 12 1/2 hours more to complete it than both Meghana and Ganesh worked together. What time would they take if both Meghana and Ganesh worked together?
Correct Answer: 20 hrs
Time taken by both Meghana and Ganesh to work together is given by =
t1 x t2
Where
t1 = 32 hrst2 = 12 12 hrs = 252 hrs
Therefore, time took by both to work together =
32 x 252 = 16 x 25 = 4 x 5 = 20 hrs
