Practicing Success
A is 20% more efficient than B. How much time will they working together take to complete a job which A alone could have done in 29 days ? |
$\frac{145}{11}$ $\frac{116}{11}$ $\frac{203}{11}$ $\frac{174}{11}$ |
$\frac{174}{11}$ |
A is 20% more efficient than B i.e; \(\frac{A}{B}\) = \(\frac{120}{100}\) = \(\frac{6}{5}\) ⇒ Efficiency (A = 6, B = 5), A finishes work in 29 days, therefore, total work = 6 x 29 = 174 .. (Efficiency × Days = Total work) ⇒ Time taken to complete the work by working together = \(\frac{174}{6+5}\) = \(\frac{174}{11}\) days. |
