      Ritu completes 50% of a project in 25 days, while Sheetal

      completes 40% in 32 days. Ritu works for 30 days and then stops. Find the time Sheetal needs to finish the pending work.

      B 60 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 32 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 72 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Time taken by Ritu to complete whole work = (25 / 0.50) = 50 days

      Time taken by Sheetal to complete whole work = (32 / 0.40) = 80 days

      Let the total work be 400 units (LCM of 50 and 80)

      Efficiency of Ritu = (400 / 50) = 8 units/day

      Efficiency of Sheetal = (400 / 80) = 5 units/day

      Work completed by Ritu in 30 days = 30 × 8 = 240 units

      Remaining work = 400 - 240 = 160 units

      Therefore, required time = (160 / 5) = 32 days
