Correct Answer: 30 days required for the two of them together to complete the whole work.
Explanation:
In 80 days. Abir can do 1 portion of workIn 10 days.
Abir can do $\frac{1 x 10}{80}$ portion of work
The rest of the work = 1 —$\frac{1 }{8}$ = $\frac{7}{8}$ portion.
Now Bashir takes 42 days to complete = $\frac{7}{8}$ portion of the work
Now Bashir takes 1 days to complete = $\frac{7}{8×42}$ portion of the work= $\frac{1}{48}$ portion of the work
In 1 day Abir & Bashir together can do = $\frac{1}{80}+\frac{1}{48}$ portion= $\frac{1}{30}$ portion
$\frac{1}{30}$ portion of the work they can do in = 1 day
1 portion of the work they can do in = 1 x 30 = 30 day
