      Question

      Pooja used to solve 36 problems in 72 minutes. After her

      efficiency decreased by 33.33%, how long will she now take to solve the same number of problems?
      A 145 mins Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 116 mins Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 108 mins Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 120 mins Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      72 minutes

      Initial efficiency = 72 Γ· 36 = 2 minutes/problem

      New efficiency = 72 Γ· (36 Γ— 0.6667) = 3 minutes/problem

      Time to solve 36 problems = 3 Γ— 36 = 108 minutes

      Alternate Solution:

      Efficiency ratio = 0.6667:1 = 2:3

      Time ratio = 3:2

      Required time = 72 Γ— (3/2) = 108 minutes
