Tapas works twice as fast as Mihir. If both of t hem together complete a work i n 12 days. Tapas alone can complete it in–
[ A ] 15 days
[ B ] 18 days
[ C ] 20 days
[ D ] 24 days
Answer : Option B
Explanation :
Let units of work done by mihir = x So, the units of work done by topas = 2x Work completed = 12 days
So, total units of work = (x+ 2x) × 12 = 36x
Time required by Tapas to complete the
work = $36x\over2x$ = 18 day
