A can do a piece of work in 18 days and the efficiency of B and C is 15 unit/day and 13 unit/day respectively. Work done by A and C together in 1 day is 3 units more than B and C together. Then find the time taken by B is how much percent more than time taken by A ? |
45 % 20 % 30 % 35% |
20 % |
B C Efficiency 15 13 ATQ, (A+C) - (B+C) = 3 A - B = 3 (A's eff. is 3 unit more than B's) Efficiency of A = 15 + 3 = 18 Hence, A B efficiency 18 15 Time taken by A & B 15 18 Total work = Efficiency × Number of days So ratio of efficiency and time is inverse to each other Now, more time is taken by B i.e 3R Required % = \(\frac{3R}{15R}\) × 100 = 20% |
