Answer
Step-by-step solution
3 stepsDetermine the time B takes to complete the work.
A is twice as efficient as B. This means A takes half the time B takes to complete the same work.
Given that A finishes the work in 60 days.
Let be the number of days A takes and be the number of days B takes.Since A is twice as efficient as B, B will take twice as long as A.
Calculate the combined work rate of A and B.
The work rate of A is per day.
The work rate of B is per day.
Combined work rate = Work rate of A + Work rate of BTo add these fractions, find a common denominator, which is 120.
Find the number of days A and B take to finish the work together.
The number of days taken to finish the work together is the reciprocal of their combined work rate.
The correct option is A.
The final answer is .
