A is twice as good a workman as B and together they finish a piece of work in 22 days. In how many days will A alone finish the same work?
Let the total work = W
A is twice as good a workman as B
Let the number of days required for A alone to complete the work = a
$$\Rightarrow$$ Number of days required for B alone to complete the work = 2a
Work done by A in 1 day = $$\frac{W}{a}$$
Work done by B in 1 day =Â $$\frac{W}{2a}$$
Given, A and B together finish the work in 22 days
$$\Rightarrow$$Â Work done by A and B together in 1 day =Â $$\frac{W}{22}$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ Â $$\frac{W}{a}$$ +Â $$\frac{W}{2a}$$ =Â $$\frac{W}{22}$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ Â $$\frac{3}{2a}$$ = $$\frac{1}{22}$$
$$\Rightarrow$$Â Â a = 33
$$\therefore\ $$Number of days required for A alone to complete the work = 33 days
Hence, the correct answer is Option C
