Question
Two efficient workers or three non-efficient workers can
complete a certain task in 20 days. If each efficient worker improves their efficiency by 33(1/3)% and each non-efficient worker reduces their efficiency by 50%, how long will it take for a team of two efficient workers and two non-efficient workers, under these new conditions, to finish the same task?Solution
Let the efficiencies of an efficient worker and a non-efficient worker be 'x' units/day and 'y' units/day respectively. ATQ, 2x X 20 = 3y X 20 Or, x:y = 3:2 Let x = 3a and y = 2a So, total work = 2 X 3a X 20 = 120a units Increased efficiency of an efficient worker = 3a X (4/3) = 4a units/day Decreased efficiency of a non-efficient worker = 2a X (1/2) = 'a' unit/day Therefore, required time = 120a ÷ (2 X 4a + 2 X a) = (120a ÷ 10a) = 12 days
