    Question

    A buffalo alone can plough field β€˜A’ in 20 days. A

    Bull alone can plough the field β€˜A’ in 32 days. Find the number of days taken by 2 bulls and 2 buffalo to together plough field β€˜B’ that is 30% larger than field β€˜A’?
    A 5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 6 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total work done to plough field β€˜A’ = 160 units (LCM of 20 and 32) Then, efficiency of a buffalo = (160/20) = 8 units/day Efficiency of a bull = (160/32) = 5 units/day Total work required to plough field β€˜B’ = 160 Γ— 1.30 = 208 units Combined efficiency of 2 bulls and 2 buffalo = 2 Γ— 5 + 2 Γ— 8 = 26 units So, number of days required to plough field β€˜B’ = 208/26 = 8 days
