The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how much work A and B can complete in 6 days, given that A can complete the work in x days and B can complete the same work in y days, with the condition that x > y. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Determine the work done by A in one day:** - Since A can complete the work in x days, the fraction of the work A can do in one day is: \[ \text{Work done by A in 1 day} = \frac{1}{x} \] 2. **Calculate the work done by A in 6 days:** - To find out how much work A can do in 6 days, we multiply the work done in one day by 6: \[ \text{Work done by A in 6 days} = 6 \times \frac{1}{x} = \frac{6}{x} \] 3. **Determine the work done by B in one day:** - Since B can complete the work in y days, the fraction of the work B can do in one day is: \[ \text{Work done by B in 1 day} = \frac{1}{y} \] 4. **Calculate the work done by B in 6 days:** - To find out how much work B can do in 6 days, we multiply the work done in one day by 6: \[ \text{Work done by B in 6 days} = 6 \times \frac{1}{y} = \frac{6}{y} \] 5. **Compare the work done by A and B in 6 days:** - We need to compare \(\frac{6}{x}\) and \(\frac{6}{y}\). Since x > y, we know that: \[ \frac{1}{x} < \frac{1}{y} \] - Therefore, multiplying both sides by 6 (which is positive) gives: \[ \frac{6}{x} < \frac{6}{y} \] 6. **Conclusion:** - Since \(\frac{6}{x} < \frac{6}{y}\), it follows that B can do more work than A in 6 days. ### Final Answer: B can do more work in 6 days.
