    Robert can finish the writing of the book in 8 days while James can finish the same work in 10 days. If they work together, then how long they will take to finish the same work?

    A)  \[10\frac{1}{2}\]days               

    B) \[6\frac{2}{3}days\]        

    C)  \[\frac{4}{9}\] days                  

    D)  \[4\frac{4}{9}\]days

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (d): Just like in question-2, we can solve it. Here, it will boil down to: Together, in 1 day \[\Rightarrow \frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{9}{40}\]. \[\therefore \]to finish full work \[=\frac{40}{9}=4\frac{4}{9}\]days
