    A' can finish a job in 24 days, while 'B' is 25% less

    efficient than 'A.' If they take turns working, beginning with 'A,' how many days will it take for them to complete 87.5% of the task?
    A 10 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 24 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 20 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Time taken by β€˜B’ to complete the work = 24/0.75 = 32 days Let the total work = 96 units Efficiency of β€˜A’ = 96/24 = 4 units/day Efficiency of β€˜B’ = 96/32 = 3 units/day Work to be done = 0.875 Γ— 96 = 84 units Work completed by β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ in 2 days = (4 + 3) = 7 units Therefore, to complete 84 units of work time required = 2 Γ— (84/7) = 24 days
