    Question

    Two workers, β€˜X’ and β€˜Y’, can finish a job in 25

    days together. If β€˜X’ is 25% more efficient than β€˜Y’, find the number of days β€˜Y’ alone would take to complete the job.
    A 78 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 48 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 68 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 98 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the efficiency of β€˜Y’ be 8x units. Efficiency of β€˜X’ = 8x Γ— 1.25 = 10x units Total work = 25 Γ— (8x + 10x) = 450x units Time taken by β€˜Y’ alone = 450x Γ· 8x = 56.25 days
