      Question

      β€˜X’ can complete a job in 30 days. β€˜Y’ is 50%

      more efficient than β€˜X’. How long will they take to finish 75% of the work together?
      A 10 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 12 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 6 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 9 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let work = 30x units (since X takes 30 days).
      Efficiency of X = 30x / 30 = 1x unit/day.
      Y is 50% more efficient, so Y's efficiency = 1x + 0.5x = 1.5x units/day.
      75% of work = 30x Γ— 0.75 = 22.5x units.
      Combined efficiency = 1x + 1.5x = 2.5x units/day.
      Time taken = 22.5x / 2.5x = 9 days.
