This is a pretty standard rate of work problem.

We just need to set up a simple equation.

In words, if Mohan can do 1/20 of the job in 1 day,

and Aman can do 1/30 of the job in 1 day,

what percentage of the job could they do working together in 1 day?

1%2F20%2B1%2F30=1%2Fx

30%2F600%2B20%2F600=1%2Fx

50%2F600=1%2Fx

50%2Ax=600%2A1

x=600%2F50

x=12

This means they could do 1/12 of the work in 1 day.

Thus, working together, Mohan and Aman can do the work in 12 days!

I hope this helps! Keep practicing! :)
