The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how many days G and S will take to complete the work together, given that G is twice as fast as S and that G can complete the work in 30 days less than S. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Variables**: - Let the number of days S takes to complete the work be \( x \). - Since G is twice as fast as S, G will take \( \frac{x}{2} \) days to complete the same work. 2. **Set Up the Equation**: - According to the problem, G takes 30 days less than S: \[ \frac{x}{2} = x - 30 \] 3. **Solve the Equation**: - Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction: \[ x = 2x - 60 \] - Rearranging gives: \[ 60 = 2x - x \] \[ x = 60 \] 4. **Determine G's Days**: - Since S takes 60 days, G takes: \[ \frac{60}{2} = 30 \text{ days} \] 5. **Calculate Work Done Per Day**: - Work done by S in one day: \[ \text{Work by S} = \frac{1}{60} \text{ (units of work per day)} \] - Work done by G in one day: \[ \text{Work by G} = \frac{1}{30} \text{ (units of work per day)} \] 6. **Combine Their Work**: - Together, the work done in one day by both G and S: \[ \text{Total work per day} = \frac{1}{60} + \frac{1}{30} \] - To add these fractions, find a common denominator (which is 60): \[ \frac{1}{60} + \frac{2}{60} = \frac{3}{60} = \frac{1}{20} \] 7. **Calculate Total Days to Complete Work Together**: - If they can do \( \frac{1}{20} \) of the work in one day, then the total number of days to complete the work together is: \[ \text{Total days} = \frac{1}{\left(\frac{1}{20}\right)} = 20 \text{ days} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, G and S will take **20 days** to complete the work together.
