[Q] If A is 30% more efficient than B. How much time will they, working
together, take to complete a job which A alone could have done in 23
days?
(a) 23 days
(b) 13 days
(c) 33 days
(d) 43 days
(a) 23 days
(b) 13 days
(c) 33 days
(d) 43 days
Solution
Answer
(b)
Explanation
----
Work done by A in 1 day = 1/23
Let work done by B in 1 day = b
b × (130/100) = 1/23
=> b = 100/(23×130) = 10/(23×13)
Work done by A and B in 1 day = 1/23 + 10/(23×13) = 23/(23×13)= 1/13
=> A and B together can do the work in 13 days
