    Question

    'A' alone can do some work in 20 days. 'B' is 60% more

    efficient than 'A'. 'A' worked alone for 12 days and left. How much time (in days) does 'B' need to finish the remaining work?
    A 5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 6 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 4 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 9 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the efficiency of 'A' be x units/day.
    So, efficiency of 'B' = 1.6x units/day.
    Total work = 20 ├Ч x = 20x units.
    Work done by 'A' in twelve days = 12 ├Ч x = 12x units.
    Remaining work = 20x тИТ 12x = 8x units.
    Time taken by 'B' to finish the remaining work = ({8x/1.6x} = 5) days.
