    is 100% greater than Qureshi's. How many days will it take for both Pawan and Qureshi, working together, to finish the entire task?
    A 10 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 15 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,
    Pawan’ alone can do the complete work in (6/0.4) = 15 days
    Efficiency of ‘Pawan’ = 2 × efficiency of ‘Qureshi’
    As, we know efficiency is inversely proportional to time taken when work done is constant.
    So, ‘Qureshi’ alone can complete the work = (15 × 2) = 30 days
    Let the total work be 30 units {LCM of 15 and 30}
    Efficiency of ‘Pawan’ = (30/15) = 2 units/day
    Efficiency of ‘Qureshi’ = (30/30) = 1 unit/day
    So, time taken by ‘Pawan’ and ‘Qureshi’ to complete the work together = (30/3) = 10 days
