Question

A is five times as efficient as B and can finish a piece of work in 24 days less than B. B can finish this work in how many days?

A 40 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 48 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 44 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 30 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Ratio of efficiencyof A and B = 5: 1
A will take 1/5 of time as compared to B.
Say, B takes 5x days and A takes x days.
∴ 5x – x = 24 ⇒ x = 6
∴ B takes 6 × 5 = 30 days to do the work.
