Question

    35% of the work done by Sunil in 8 days is equal to 70% of

    the work done by Raj in 3 days. If Sunil alone can do the work in 24 days, find the number of days Raj would need to finish the work.
    A 45 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 40 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 20 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 28 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the efficiency of Sunil and Raj be 'x' units/day and 'y' units/day respectively.

    So, 0.35 × x × 8 = 0.7 × y × 3

    So, x = (21/8) × y

    Total work = 24 × x = 24x units

    Time taken by Raj to complete the work:

    = (24x / y) = {24 × (21/8) y} ÷ y = 63 days
