      ‘p’ and ‘q’ days, respectively. The time taken by Alex to complete the project is 50% of the time taken by John. The ratio of efficiency of Alex to that of John is:
      A 2:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Efficiency of Alex = (1/p) units/day And, efficiency of John = (1/q) units/day According to the question; p = 50% of q = (1/2) × q Or, p/q = 1/2 Required ratio = (1/p) / (1/q) = (q/p) = 2:1
