      Question

      A is twice as efficient as B and can finish a piece of

      work in 20 days less than B. B can finish this work in how many days?
      A 40 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 30 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 22 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 20 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Ratio of efficiency of  A and B = 2: 1 A will take 1/2 of time as compared to B. Say, B takes 2x days and A takes x days. ∴ 2x – x = 20 ⇒ x = 20 ∴ B takes 20 × 2 = 40 days to do the work.
