A can do a piece of work in 6 days. B is 25% more efficient than A. How long would B alone take to finish this work?
It is given that A takes 6 days to finish a work and it is also given that B is 25% more efficient than A ,it means that B will take less time to finish the work OR it can be said that :
B = 1.25 A
Using,
$$\frac{M1D1}{W1}$$ = $$\frac{M2D2}{W2}$$
D1 = 6 and D2 are the days taken by B to complete the work
Let the amount of work be , W1=W2=W
So,
$$\frac{A \times 6}{W}$$ = $$\frac{1.25 A \times D2}{W}$$
D2 = $$4\frac{4}{5}$$ days
