    Question

    ‘M’ and ‘N’ together can finish a piece of work

    in 22 days. If ‘M’ alone can complete it in 55 days, how many days will ‘N’ alone take?
    A 133/22 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 111/21 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 110/3 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 120/7 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total work be LCM (22, 55) = 110 units.
    Combined efficiency of ‘M’ and ‘N’ = 110 ÷ 22 = 5 units/day
    Efficiency of ‘M’ = 110 ÷ 55 = 2 units/day
    Efficiency of ‘N’ = 5 − 2 = 3 units/day
    Time taken by ‘N’ alone = 110 ÷ 3 = (110/3) days
