Let, days taken by A = x days
Then, days taken by B = 6x days (since he is 6 times slower)
So, the difference = 6x - x = 5x days.
But, this difference = 100 days
Therefore, 5x = 100 implies x = 20 days
So, A takes 20 days to finish a job and B takes 120 days to finish a job.
if they work together, total time taken = 1/(1/20+1/120) = 120/7 = 17 1/7 days
