Question 51

A and B together can do a piece of work in 12 days while A alone can do the same work in 30 days. B alone can do it in

Solution

Let total work to be done = 60 units

A can complete the work in 30 days

=> A's efficiency = $$\frac{60}{30}=2$$ units/day

Similarly, (A+B)'s 1 day's work = $$\frac{60}{12}=5$$ units/day

=> B's efficiency = $$5-2=3$$ units/day

$$\therefore$$ B alone can do the work in = $$\frac{60}{3}=20$$ days

=> Ans - (B)
