      Question

      β€˜D’ and β€˜E’ together finish a task in 20 days.

      If β€˜D’ is 70% more efficient than β€˜E’, how many days will β€˜E’ take to complete the task alone?
      A 78 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 48 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 54 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 19 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the efficiency of β€˜E’ be 10x units. Efficiency of β€˜D’ = 10x Γ— 1.7 = 17x units Total work = 20 Γ— (10x + 17x) = 540x units Time taken by β€˜E’ alone = 540x Γ· 10x = 54 days
