Workers

Two workers A and B, will be done work together for 15 days. They worked together for 13.5 days. Then A worker became ill, and worker B finish the job alone for 7.5 days.

If every worker was working alone, how many days took whole work for worker A and B?

Correct answer:

A =  18.8 d
B =  75 d

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} {\displaystyle \frac{1}{A}}+{\displaystyle \frac{1}{B}}={\displaystyle \frac{1}{15}} \\ r=1-13.5\mathrm{/}15=0.1 \\ r\mathrm{.}\mathrm{.}\mathrm{.}\mathrm{.}7.5 \\ \mathrm{1....}B \\ B=7.5\mathrm{/}r=75\text{ d } \\ {\displaystyle \frac{1}{A}}+{\displaystyle \frac{1}{B}}={\displaystyle \frac{1}{15}} \\ {\displaystyle \frac{1}{A}}={\displaystyle \frac{1}{15}}-{\displaystyle \frac{1}{B}} \\ A={\displaystyle \frac{1}{{\displaystyle \frac{1}{15}}-{\displaystyle \frac{1}{B}}}}=18.75 \end{gathered}$$
