      Question

      β€˜M’ is 60% more efficient than β€˜N’. β€˜N’

      started the work alone and worked for 12 days and after that β€˜N’ is replaced by β€˜M’. If the total work is completed in 40 days, find the time taken by β€˜M’ to finish the same work alone?
      A 30.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 31.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 35.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 25.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the efficiency of β€˜N’ = β€˜5x’ units/day Efficiency of β€˜M’ = β€˜8x’ units/day Time taken by β€˜M’ to complete the remaining work = 40 – 12 = 28 days Total work = 12 Γ— 5x + 28 Γ— 8x = 284x units Desired time = 284x/8x = 35.5 days
