    work in 28 days less than B. B can finish this work in how many days?

    D 42 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 40 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of efficiency of A and B = 3: 1 A will take 1/3 of time as compared to B. Say, B takes 3x days and A takes x days. ∴ 3x – x = 28 ⇒ x = 14 ∴ B takes 14 × 3 = 42 days to do the work
