      Question

      Arjun and Karan can do a work separately in 20 days and 50

      days respectively. Arjun started the work and was later joined by Karan. When should Karan join so that the total work completes in 16 days?
      A 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 7.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 10.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the total work be 100 units (LCM of 20 and 50)

      Efficiency of Arjun = (100 / 20) = 5 units/day

      Efficiency of Karan = (100 / 50) = 2 units/day

      Let Karan join after 'n' days.

      So, 5n + (5 + 2) ร— (16 - n) = 100

      โ‡’ 5n + 112 - 7n = 100

      โ‡’ 2n = 12

      โ‡’ n = 6
