      Question

      Meena can paint a house in 24 days. If Meena and Reena

      together can complete it in 15 days, then how many days will Reena take to finish the work on her own?
      A 20 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 60 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 30 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 40 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the total work be 120 units {LCM (24 and 15)}

      Efficiency of Meena = (120 / 24) = 5 units/day

      Efficiency of Meena and Reena together = (120 / 15) = 8 units/day

      Efficiency of Reena = 8 - 5 = 3 units/day

      Time required by Reena to complete the work alone = (120 / 3) = 40 days
