It takes two gardeners 8 days to mow a lawn.
One is lazy and one is energetic. The energetic one would only take 12 days to mow it on his own.
How many days would the lazy gardener take to mow the lawn on his own?
Best answer
24 days!!!
For Energetic ….
Take 12 days ………………………..to do 1 (full work)
Take 1 day……………………………..to do 1/12
Take 8 days……………………………to do 8/12
Rest part of work was done by the lazy one!!
For lazy……..
Lazy did (1-8/12)=4/12 part of work in 8 days.
so he did 1(full work) in 8*12/4= 24 days!!!!
