    A person can do a job as fast as his two sons working together. If one son does the job in 6 days and the other in 12 days, how many days does it take the father to do the job?

    A) 9 days              

    B) 6 days

    C) 4 days  

    D) 3 days

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    One day's work of first son \[=\frac{1}{6}\] and one day's work of second son \[=\frac{1}{12}\] \[\therefore \] One day's work of them working together             \[=\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{2+1}{12}=\frac{1}{4}\] \[\therefore \] In 4 days father will finish the work.
