The time taken by one man alone is 140 days and the time taken by one boy alone is 280 days .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let time taken by one man alone be = x days

Let time taken by one boy alone be = y days

According to question

               .......(1)

and         .......(2)

 

Solve equation (1) and (2) by eliminating,

Multiply equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3 then subtract

          ...... (3)

         .......(4)

Subtract equation (4) from equation (3)

  

  

  

so, the time taken by one man alone is 140 days

Put value of  x in equation (1)

Subtract both the sides by 

Multiply both the sides by 

Multiply both the sides by 280,

Therefore, the time taken by one man alone is 140 days and the time taken by one boy alone is 280 days .
