      Question

      'B' is 20% more efficient than 'A.' 'A' began working on

      a task alone and continued for 8 days, after which 'B' took over and completed the remaining work alone in 5 days. Now, In how many days 'A' would require to complete the entire task if they worked alone.
      A 12 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 14 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 24 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 11 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Let the efficiency of β€˜A’ = β€˜10y’ units/day Then, efficiency of β€˜B’ = 10y Γ— 1.2 = β€˜12y’ units/day So, total work = (10y Γ— 8) + (12y Γ— 5) = β€˜140y’ units So, time taken by β€˜A’ to complete the whole work alone = (140y/10y) = 14 days
