"Hey everyone! If my response helped you out, I'd really appreciate it if you could mark it as the brainliest answer. Thanks a bunch!"

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break down each exercise one by one:

Exercise 7.3:

1. **Person A can do a task in 5 days, and person B can do it in 8 days. How many days will they do it together?**

Let's find the rate at which each person works:

- Person A's rate = 1 task / 5 days = \( \frac{1}{5} \) task/day

- Person B's rate = 1 task / 8 days = \( \frac{1}{8} \) task/day

When they work together, their rates add up:

\( \text{Combined rate} = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{8 + 5}{40} = \frac{13}{40} \) task/day

To find the time taken for them to do the task together, we use the formula:

\( \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Total task}}{\text{Combined rate}} \)

\( \text{Time} = \frac{1}{\frac{13}{40}} = \frac{40}{13} \) days

Therefore, they will do the task together in \( \frac{40}{13} \) days.

2. **If person A can do the task alone in 12 days while person B can do it in 18 days, in how many days will they do it together?**

Following the same approach as above:

- Person A's rate = \( \frac{1}{12} \) task/day

- Person B's rate = \( \frac{1}{18} \) task/day

Combined rate:

\( \text{Combined rate} = \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{18} = \frac{3 + 2}{36} = \frac{5}{36} \) task/day

Time taken together:

\( \text{Time} = \frac{1}{\frac{5}{36}} = \frac{36}{5} \) days

Therefore, they will do the task together in \( \frac{36}{5} \) days.

3. **Two persons A and B working together can mow a field in 6 hours. The person B alone can mow the field in 15 hours. In how many hours can person A mow the field alone?**

Let's denote the time taken by person A to mow the field alone as \( x \) hours.

We use the formula: \( \text{Rate} = \frac{1}{\text{Time}} \)

- Combined rate when A and B work together = \( \frac{1}{6} \) field/hour

- Rate of person B working alone = \( \frac{1}{15} \) field/hour

From this, we can find the rate of person A working alone:

\( \text{Rate of A alone} + \text{Rate of B alone} = \text{Combined rate} \)

\( \text{Rate of A alone} = \text{Combined rate} - \text{Rate of B alone} \)

\( \text{Rate of A alone} = \frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{15} = \frac{5 - 2}{30} = \frac{3}{30} = \frac{1}{10} \) field/hour

So, person A can mow the field alone in 10 hours.

4. **Roby and Zuby can do a piece of work separately in 30 and 20 hours respectively. In how many hours will they finish it working together?**

Let's denote the time taken by Roby to finish the work alone as \( R \) hours, and the time taken by Zuby to finish the work alone as \( Z \) hours.

Given:

\( R = 30 \) hours, \( Z = 20 \) hours

We use the formula: \( \text{Rate} = \frac{1}{\text{Time}} \)

- Rate of Roby = \( \frac{1}{30} \) work/hour

- Rate of Zuby = \( \frac{1}{20} \) work/hour

Their combined rate when working together:

\( \text{Combined rate} = \frac{1}{30} + \frac{1}{20} = \frac{2 + 3}{60} = \frac{5}{60} = \frac{1}{12} \) work/hour

So, they will finish the work together in 12 hours.

5. **Two persons A and B can do a piece of work in 12 hours. The person B alone can do it in 15 hours. In how many hours can person A alone do it?**

Let's denote the time taken by person A to finish the work alone as \( A \) hours, and the time taken by person B to finish the work alone as \( B \) hours.

Given:

\( A + B = 12 \) hours

\( B = 15 \) hours

We need to find \( A \).

Using the formula: \( \text{Time} = \frac{1}{\text{Rate}} \)

- Rate of A when working alone = \( \frac{1}{A} \) work/hour

- Rate of B when working alone = \( \frac{1}{15} \) work/hour

Their combined rate when working together is the same as the rate of work of A when working alone, since they can complete the work in the same time together as A alone.

So, \( A = 12 \) hours.

6. **Two persons A and B can make a house in 116 days and 118 days respectively, if they work alone. They work together for 30 days and then A falls sick. In how many days will B complete the remaining job?**

Let's find the rate at which A and B work together:

- Rate of A = \( \frac{1}{116} \) house/day

- Rate of B = \( \frac{1}{118} \) house/day

Their combined rate:

\( \text{Combined rate} = \frac{1}{116} + \frac{1}{118} \) house/day

They work together for 30 days, so the work done in 30 days is:

\( \text{Work done in 30 days} = \text{Combined rate} \times \text{Time} = \left( \frac{1}{116} + \frac{1}{118} \right) \times 30 \)

Subtracting this work from the total work gives us the remaining work that B needs to complete.

So, we find the work remaining as \( 1 - \left( \frac{1}{116} + \frac{1}{118} \right) \times 30 \).

We divide this remaining work by
