A and B together can do a piece of work in 15days . If A's one day work is 3/2 times one days work of B. Find in how many days can each do the work.?
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Let B's time to do the job alone be \"x\",
\n" ); document.write( "then A does the job in x/(3/2) = 2x/3 days
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Together rate:: 1/15 job/hr
\n" ); document.write( "A's rate:: 1/(2x/3) = 3/(2x) job/hr
\n" ); document.write( "B's rate:: 1/x job/hr
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation::
\n" ); document.write( "rate + rate = together rate
\n" ); document.write( "1/x + 3/(2x) = 1/15
\n" ); document.write( "30 + 45 = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 75/2 = 37.5 days (time for B to do the job alone)
\n" ); document.write( "2x/3 = (2/3)(37.5) = 25 days (time for A to do the job alone)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
