Question 43

After completing a work together in 2 days, P and Q received Rs.1200 and Rs.400 respectively as wages. In how many days will Q alone complete the work?

Solution

ratio of efficiency of P and Q is

P : Q = 1200 : 400 = 3 : 1

total work = time * effciancy = 4 * 2 = 8

Q alone can do the work in = work/efficiency = 8/1 = 8 days
