Answer: 9 : 12 : 14
Explanation Given: x : y = 3 : 4 y : z = 6 : 7 To combine, equalize y in both ratios (LCM of 4 and 6 is 12): x : y = 9 : 12 y : z = 12 : 14 Combine to get: x : y : z = 9 : 12 : 14
Answer: 7.2 days
Explanation A’s 1 day work = 1/12 B’s 1 day work = 1/18 Combined work = 1/12 + 1/18 = (3 + 2) / 36 = 5/36 Time taken = 1 ÷ (5/36) = 36/5 = 7.2 days Last verified on 10-05-2026
