    i agree to sankha chakrabarty.procudure-
    let work done by b=x
    work done by a=2x
    (a+b) can do work in 1 day=1/18
    atq-1/x+1/2x=1/18
    therefore x =1/27 or 27 days

    Hello Rahim Ji,
    You are absolutly right the way you are calculating..
    Just a small error , 3/54, you calculated 1/28,
    but it will be 1/18, so work will be done in 18 days.
    Hope it helps.

    Hello Ashish, as we are calculating for B, so it answer would be 54, in case we want to calculate for A then answer will be 27.

    A is twice good as B so the answer should be divided by 2, then the option A turns green
