Ram can complete the work in 12 days
Ram’s one-day work = 1/12
Let Shyam’s one-day work = 1/x
Total time taken by Ram and Shyam to complete the work = 8
Ram and Shyam ‘s one-day work = 1/8
1/12 + 1/x = 1/8
⇒ x = 24
Shyam can complete the work in 24 days
Ram’s one-day work = 1/12
Let Shyam’s one-day work = 1/x
Total time taken by Ram and Shyam to complete the work = 8
Ram and Shyam ‘s one-day work = 1/8
1/12 + 1/x = 1/8
⇒ x = 24
Shyam can complete the work in 24 days
