Q: Ram can do a piece of work in 50 days. He alone worked at it for 20 days and then Lakshman completed

Efficiency of Ram = 100/50 = 2% Work done by Ram in 20 days = 20/50 × 100 = 40% Remaining work = 60% Efficiency of Lakshman = 60/30 = 2% Therefore, required number of days = 100/(2+2) = 100/4 = 25 days

B 20 days

C 25 days
