    Question

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

    started the work alone and worked for 20 days and after that β€˜N’ is replaced by β€˜M’. If the total work is completed in 25 days, find the time taken by β€˜M’ to finish the same work alone?
    A 11.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 17.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 14.5 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 = 25 – 20 = 5 days Total work = 20 Γ— 5x + 5 Γ— 8x = 140x units Desired time = 140x/8x = 17.5 days
