Question

    ‘R’ completes a job in 10 days. ‘S’ is twice as

    efficient as ‘R’. How much time will they take to complete 120% of the work together?
    A 4 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let total work = 100x units.
    Efficiency of R = 100x / 10 = 10x units/day.
    S is twice as efficient, so S's efficiency = 2 × 10x = 20x units/day.
    120% of work = 100x × 1.20 = 120x units.
    Combined efficiency = 10x + 20x = 30x units/day.
    Time taken = 120x / 30x = 4 days.
