    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let total work = LCM of 20 and 40 = 40 units Work done by Ananya in one hour = 40 / 20 = 2 units Work done by Riya in one hour = 40 / 40 = 1 unit Work done by Ananya in 10 hours = 10 × 2 = 20 units Remaining work = 40 – 20 = 20 units Time Riya takes to finish = 20 / 1 = 20 hours Total time = 10 + 20 = 30 hours
