Question:

The ratio of working efficiency of A and B is 4 : 5. If A alone completes the work in 15 days then in how many days can B alone complete the work?

Options:

15 days

12 days

16 days

20 days

Correct Answer:

12 days

Explanation:

We have,

The ratio of working efficiency of A and B is 4 : 5. If A alone completes the work in 15 days.

We know that, if the work is same then the efficiency is directly proportional to the time.

So, The ratio of working efficiency of A and B is 4 : 5.

The ratio of time of A and B is 5 : 4.

So if,

5x = 15

then 4x = 12
