    Question

    β€˜D’ alone can finish a job in 50 days, while β€˜D’

    and β€˜E’ together can complete it in 20 days. If β€˜E’ worked alone for 22 days and then left, how many days will β€˜D’ take to complete the remaining work?
    A 25 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 40 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 33 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 17 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total work = 100 units {L.C.M of 50 and 20}
    Then, efficiency of β€˜D’ = 100 Γ· 50 = 2 units/day
    Combined efficiency of β€˜D’ and β€˜E’ = 100 Γ· 20 = 5 units/day
    So, efficiency of β€˜E’ = 5 – 2 = 3 units/day
    So, work done by β€˜E’ alone in 22 days = 3 Γ— 22 = 66 units
    Remaining work = 100 – 66 = 34 units
    Time taken by 'D' alone to complete the remaining work = 34 Γ· 2 = 17 days
