Question 1

Question: How many days will A take to complete the work alone? Statement (1): A and B together complete the work in 6 days. Statement (2): B alone completes the work in 10 days.
Work equation: 1/A + 1/B = 1/6, B = 10 → 1/A = 1/6 - 1/10 = (5-3)/30 = 2/30 = 1/15 → A = 15 days.

Question 2

Question: How many days will B take to complete the work alone? Statement (1): A and B together complete the work in 12 days. Statement (2): A alone completes the work in 20 days.
1/A + 1/B = 1/12, A = 20 → 1/20 + 1/B = 1/12 → 1/B = 1/12 - 1/20 = (5-3)/60 = 2/60 = 1/30 → B = 30 days.

Question 3

Question: How many days will B take to complete the work alone? Statement (1): A and B together complete the work in 12 days. Statement (2): A alone completes the work in 20 days.
1/A + 1/B = 1/12, A = 20 → 1/20 + 1/B = 1/12 → 1/B = 1/12 - 1/20 = (5-3)/60 = 2/60 = 1/30 → B = 30 days.

Question 4

Question: How many days will A take to complete the work alone? Statement (1): A and B together complete the work in 6 days. Statement (2): B alone completes the work in 10 days.
Work equation: 1/A + 1/B = 1/6, B = 10 → 1/A = 1/6 - 1/10 = (5-3)/30 = 2/30 = 1/15 → A = 15 days.

Question 5

Question: How many days will A take to complete the work alone? Statement (1): A and B together complete the work in 6 days. Statement (2): B alone completes the work in 10 days.
Work equation: 1/A + 1/B = 1/6, B = 10 → 1/A = 1/6 - 1/10 = (5-3)/30 = 2/30 = 1/15 → A = 15 days.

Question 6

Question: How many days will B take to complete the work alone? Statement (1): A and B together complete the work in 12 days. Statement (2): A alone completes the work in 20 days.
1/A + 1/B = 1/12, A = 20 → 1/20 + 1/B = 1/12 → 1/B = 1/12 - 1/20 = (5-3)/60 = 2/60 = 1/30 → B = 30 days.

Question 7

Question: How many days will A take to complete the work alone? Statement (1): A and B together complete the work in 6 days. Statement (2): B alone completes the work in 10 days.
