If A and B can do a piece of work in 20 days, and A alone can do the same work in 60 days, then in how many days can B alone complete the same work'?
Given,Â
A and B together can complete the work in 20 days
B alone can finish the work in 60 days.
Let the Total work be 60 units (LCM of 20 and 60)
As we know,Â
$$efficiency\ =\ \frac{total\ work}{time\ taken}$$Â
Efficiency of (A + B) =Â $$\frac{60}{20}=3$$
Efficiency of A alone =Â $$\frac{60}{60}=1$$
Now, Efficiency of B = 3 - 1 = 2
Time required to finish the work by alone B =Â $$\frac{60}{2}=30$$
Hence, Option C is correct.Â
