alternate days. The total work will be completed in	Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) 1314
B) 1312
C) 1334
D) 1344
E) none of these

Rationale: explana ɵ on : a ' s 1 day work = 1 / 16 b ' s 1 day work = 1 / 12 as they are working on alternate day ' s so their 2 days work = ( 1 / 16 ) + ( 1 / 12 ) = 7 / 48 [ here is a small technique , total work done will be 1 , right , then mul ɵ ply numerator ɵ ll denominator , as 7 * 6 = 42 , 7 * 7 = 49 , as 7 * 7 is more than 48 , so we will consider 7 * 6 , means 6 pairs ] work done in 6 pairs = 6 * ( 7 / 48 ) = 7 / 8 remaining work = 1 - 7 / 8 = 1 / 8 on 13 th day it will a turn , then remaining work = ( 1 / 8 ) - ( 1 / 16 ) = 1 / 16 on 14 th day it is b turn , 1 / 12 work done by b in 1 day 1 / 16 work will be done in ( 12 * 1 / 16 ) = 3 / 4 day so total days = 1334 answer : c
Answer: C
