    Question

    β€˜A’ can finish a project in 40 days, whereas β€˜B’

    finishes 50% of the project in 12 days less than β€˜A’. How many days will it take both β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ to complete 90% of the project together?
    A 21 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 15 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 34 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 25 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Time taken by β€˜B’ to complete the whole work = (40 – 12)/0.5 = 56 days Let the total work = 280 units Efficiency of β€˜A’ = 280/40 = 7 units/day Efficiency of β€˜B’ = 280/56 = 5 units/day Required time taken = {(0.9 Γ— 280)/(7 + 5)} = 252/12 =Β  21 days
