Given

A man can finish a work in 10 days and a woman can finish it in 12 days.

Concept used

Total work = Number of days × Efficiency

Calculation

Work done by man in one day = 1/10

Work done by a woman in one day = 1/12

Together they will do in: 1/10 + 1/12

= 11/60

They will together complete the work in = 60/11 days

The answer is 60/11 days.

Alternate Method 

Time Total work Efficiency
10 60 6
12 5

 

They will together complete the work in = 60/(6 + 5) = 60/11 days.
