      Question

      ‘M’ is 60% more efficient than ‘N’. ‘N’

      started the work alone and worked for 20 days and after that ‘N’ is replaced by ‘M’. If the total work is completed in 44 days, find the time taken by ‘M’ to finish the same work alone?
      A 30.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 32.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 36.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 35.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the efficiency of ‘N’ = ‘5x’ units/day Efficiency of ‘M’ = ‘8x’ units/day Time taken by ‘M’ to complete the remaining work = 44 – 20 = 24 days Total work = 20 × 5x + 24 × 8x = 292x units Desired time = 292x/8x = 36.5 days
