Two workers A and B are engaged to do a piece of work. A working alone would take 8 hours more to complete the work than when work together. If B worked alone, would take 4 1 half space hours more than when work together. The time required to finish the work together is 

  • 5 hours

  • 4 hours

  • 8 hours

  • 8 hours


D.

8 hours

Let time taken by A and B  be x.
∴ According to the question,
Time taken by A alone  = (x + 8) hours
Time taken by B alonge = left parenthesis straight x plus 9 over 2 right parenthesis space hours.
therefore space space space space space fraction numerator 1 over denominator straight x plus 8 end fraction space plus fraction numerator 1 over denominator straight x plus begin display style 9 over 2 end style end fraction space equals space 1 over straight x
rightwards double arrow space space space fraction numerator 1 over denominator straight x plus 8 end fraction space plus space fraction numerator 2 over denominator 2 straight x plus 9 end fraction space equals space 1 over straight x
rightwards double arrow space space space fraction numerator 2 straight x plus 9 plus 2 straight x plus 16 over denominator left parenthesis straight x plus 8 right parenthesis thin space left parenthesis 2 straight x plus 9 right parenthesis end fraction space equals space 1 over straight x
rightwards double arrow space space fraction numerator 4 straight x plus 25 over denominator 2 straight x squared plus 16 straight x plus 9 straight x plus 72 end fraction space equals space 1 over straight x
rightwards double arrow space space space fraction numerator 4 straight x plus 25 over denominator 2 straight x squared plus 16 straight x plus 9 straight x plus 72 end fraction space equals space 1 over straight x
rightwards double arrow space space space space 4 straight x squared plus 25 straight x space equals space 2 straight x squared plus 25 straight x plus 72
rightwards double arrow space space space space 2 straight x squared space equals space 72 space space rightwards double arrow space space space straight x squared space equals space 72 over 2 space equals space 36
rightwards double arrow space space space straight x space equals space square root of 36 equals space space 6 space hours
