Work done by Dhoni in 10 days=(1/80)*10=1/8
Remaining work=(1-1/8)=7/8
Now 7/8 work done by virat in 42 days.
whole work will be done by virat in 42*(8/7)=48days
Dhoni's 1 days work=1/80 & Virat's 1 days work=1/48
(Dhoni+Virat)'s 1 days work=[(1/80)+(1/48)]=8/240=1/30
so both will finish the work in 30days

trick => upper multiply and lower is addition-dhoni work
so (80*42)/((80+42)-10)
=3360/112
=30
so will finish the work in 30 days
