A can do a work in 15 days. B is 25% more efficient than A. In how many days, working together A and B will complete the same work? |
$\frac{21}{4}$ $\frac{24}{5}$ $\frac{20}{3}$ $\frac{25}{7}$ |
$\frac{20}{3}$ |
A = 15 days, B is 25% more efficient than A. therefore, ⇒ A : B = 4 : 5 (Efficiency) ⇒ Total work = 4 x 15 = 60 units, ..(Efficiency × Days = Total work) ⇒ Time required by A + B to complete the work = \(\frac{60}{4+5}\) = \(\frac{60}{9}\) = \(\frac{20}{3}\) days, ..(\(\frac{Work}{Efficiency}\) = Time) |
