    A and B together can complete a work in 12 days. A alone can complete in 20 days. If B does the work only half a day daily, then in how many days A and B together will complete the work?

    A)  10 days

    B)                     20 days

    C)  11 days           

    D)         15 days

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     B's 1 day's work \[=\frac{1}{12}-\frac{1}{20}=\frac{5-3}{60}=\frac{1}{30}\] \[\therefore \] B's \[\frac{1}{2}\] day's work \[=\frac{1}{60}\] \[\therefore \] (A + B)'s 1 day's work \[=\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{60}=\frac{3+1}{60}=\frac{1}{15}\] B works for half day daily \[\therefore \] The work will be completed in 15 days
