    X works 3 times as fast as Y and is able to complete a work in 40 days less than the number of days taken by Y. Find the time in which they can complete the work together.

    A) 15 days         

    B)          18 days

    C) 20 days         

    D)          60 days

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

        If Y does the work in 3 days, X does it in 1 day i.e., the difference is 2 days. But the actual difference is 40 days. If difference is 2 days, X takes 1 day and Y takes 3 days. If difference is 40 days (i.e., 20 times), X takes 20 days and Y takes 60 days. \[\therefore \] Time taken together \[=\frac{20\times 60}{20+60}=15\] days
