Correct answer: A. 3 days3 दिन
Explanation
Mohan needs 7 × 9 = 63 hours and Shyam needs 6 × 7 = 42 hours. Working together, in one hour they do 1/63 + 1/42 = (2 + 3)/126 = 5/126 of the work, so the whole work takes 126/5 = 25.2 hours. At 8⅖ = 42/5 = 8.4 hours a day, the time = 25.2 ÷ 8.4 = 3 days.मोहन को 7 × 9 = 63 घंटे और श्याम को 6 × 7 = 42 घंटे लगते हैं। साथ मिलकर वे एक घंटे में 1/63 + 1/42 = (2 + 3)/126 = 5/126 कार्य करते हैं, अतः पूरा कार्य 126/5 = 25.2 घंटे में होगा। प्रतिदिन 8⅖ = 42/5 = 8.4 घंटे कार्य करने पर समय = 25.2 ÷ 8.4 = 3 दिन।More Mathematical Reasoning and Aptitude questions
