      A 34 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 30 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 28 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 32 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      A is twice as efficient as B, and together they can complete a task in 20 days.   Let B's work rate be x.   A's work rate is 2x.   Combined work rate of A and B: 2x + x = 3x.   Together they complete the task in 20 days: 3x = 20     x = 1 /60   A's work rate is 2x=2× 1 /60 =1 /30 =30days
