    • Question

      A and B together can complete a piece of work in

      30 days while A alone can complete 50% of the work in 25 days. Find the time taken by B to complete 20% of the work.
      A 17 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 16 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 15 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 24 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Time taken by A to complete the whole work = 25/0.50 = 50 days
      Let total work = 150 units
      Amount of work done by A and B together in one day = 150/30 = 5 units
      Amount of work done by A alone in one day = 150/50 = 3 units
      Amount of work done by B in one day = 5 – 3 = 2 units
      Desired time = 0.20 × 150/2 = 15 days
