Step-by-step explanation: Smith can complete a task in 12 days which means he can compete 1/12 of a work in a day similarly Ajit’s work in a day is 1/18 and together their work =1/12 +1/18= (2+3)/36= 5/36 Now if they work for 4 days = 5/36× 4 = 5/9 therefore task left =1-5/9= 9-5/9= 4/9 Reply
Step-by-step explanation:
Smith can complete a task in 12 days
which means he can compete 1/12 of a work in a day
similarly Ajit’s work in a day is 1/18
and together their work
=1/12 +1/18= (2+3)/36= 5/36
Now if they work for 4 days
= 5/36× 4 = 5/9
therefore task left =1-5/9= 9-5/9= 4/9
