to solve this problem, we can use the concept of work rate. the work rate is the amount of work completed per day. if a and b have the same work rate, it means they complete the same amount of work per day.

given that a works as fast as b and b can complete the work in 24 days independently, the work rate of a and b is 1/24 of the total work per day.

now, we need to find the number of days in which a and b can together finish the work. to do this, we need to first find their combined work rate.

the combined work rate of a and b is the sum of their individual work rates. since both a and b have the same work rate, their combined work rate is 2 * (1/24) = 1/12 of the total work per day.

this means a and b together complete 1/12 of the work in one day. to find the number of days they need to complete the entire work, we can use the formula:

number of days = total work / combined work rate

in this case, the total work is 1 (as we're considering it as a fraction of the total work) and the combined work rate is 1/12. so, the number of days required to complete the work together is:

number of days = 1 / (1/12) = 12

therefore, a and b can together finish the work in 12 days. the correct answer is (e) 12 days.

This means A and B together complete 1/12 of the work in one day. To find the number of days they need to complete the entire work, we can use the formula:

Number of days = Total work / Combined work rate

In this case, the total work is 1 (as we're considering it as a fraction of the total work) and the combined work rate is 1/12. So, the number of days required to complete the work together is:

Number of days = 1 / (1/12) = 12

Therefore, A and B can together finish the work in 12 days. The correct answer is (e) 12 days.
