Practicing Success
A and B together can finish a job in 40 days. A can do the same job on her own in 60 days. How long will B take to do the three-fourth of the same work all alone? |
90 days 100 days 80 days 120 days |
90 days |
A + B = 40 days, A = 60 days, ⇒ A + B = 3 (Efficiency) ⇒ 2 + B = 3 ⇒ B = 1, ⇒ \(\frac{3}{4}\)th of total work = \(\frac{3}{4}\) x 120 = 90 units, ⇒ Time taken by B to complete 90 units of work = \(\frac{90}{1}\) = 90 days. ..(\(\frac{Work}{Efficiency}\) = Time) |
