      Question

      Sneha and Meena can complete a project in 24 days and 60

      days respectively. Sneha began working first. After how many days should Meena step in so that the project is completed in 20 days?
      A 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the total work be 120 units (LCM of 24 and 60)

      Efficiency of Sneha = (120 / 24) = 5 units/day

      Efficiency of Meena = (120 / 60) = 2 units/day

      Let Meena join after 'n' days.

      So, 5n + (5 + 2) Γ— (20 - n) = 120

      β‡’ 5n + 140 - 7n = 120

      β‡’ 2n = 20

      β‡’ n = 10
