Question
Aman and Bhanu, working
separately, can complete a task in 32 days and 40 days, respectively. They started working together, but Aman’s efficiency decreased by 40%, while Bhanu’s efficiency increased by 25%. How much time will it take for them to complete the work together under these new conditions?Solution
ATQ,
Let total work = 160 units {LCM of 32 and 40} Efficiency of 'Aman' = (160/32) = 5 units/day Efficiency of 'Bhanu' = (160/40) = 4 units/day New efficiency of 'Aman' = 0.6 X 5 = 3 units/day New efficiency of 'Bhanu' = 1.25 X 4 = 5 units/day Therefore, combined efficiency of 'Aman' and 'Bhanu' = 3 + 5 = 8 units/day Required time taken = (160/8) = 20 days
