E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

ATQ,  Let us assume that khushi  alone can complete the work in 'k' days khushi one day work is (1/k) Amisha one day work  is = (150/100) × (1/k) = (3/2k) w(3/2k) + (w + 12) (1/k) = 1.......(1) (3w/2k) : (w + 12)/k = 3:4...........(2) From (1) and (2) we will get  w = 12, and k = 42  so Amisha can complete the work in 28 days  and khushi in 42 days. (1/28) + (1/42) = (5/84)  or (84/5) or 16(4/5)
