Question:

C and D together can make a chair in 4 days and C alone can make this chair in 12 days. In how many days D alone can make this chair?

Options:

10 days

6 days

4 days

8 days

Correct Answer:

6 days

Explanation:

C + D = 4 days,

C = 12 days,

⇒ C + D = 3,   (Efficiency)

⇒ 1 + D = 3,

⇒ D = 2,

Time required by D to complete total work alone = \(\frac{12}{2}\) = 6 days,  ..(\(\frac{Work}{Efficiency}\) = Time)
