Efficiency of A + B = 33.33% = 100/3
Ratio of efficiency of A and B = 3 : 1Correct Option: A
Efficiency of A + B = 33.33% = 100/3
Ratio of efficiency of A and B = 3 : 1
∴ Efficiency of A = (3/4) x 33.33 = 25%
∴ Number of days taken by A = 100/25 = 4
- If A takes 4/5 days as B takes and working together they require 20/3 days to complete the whole work. What is the efficiency of B?

Efficiency of A + B = 100/(20/3) = 15%
No. of days ( A:B ) = 4 : 5
Efficiency ( A:B ) = 5 : 4Correct Option: A
Efficiency of A + B = 100/(20/3) = 15%
No. of days ( A:B ) = 4 : 5
Efficiency ( A:B ) = 5 : 4
∴ Efficiency of B = (4/9) x 15 = 20/3 = 62/3%
- A is thrice efficient as B and C is twice as efficient as B. what is the ratio of number of days taken by A,B and C , when they work individually?

A : B : C
Ratio of efficiency 3 : 1 : 2
Ratio of number of days { 1/3 : 1/1 : 1/2 }Correct Option: A
A : B : C
Ratio of efficiency 3 : 1 : 2
Ratio of number of days { 1/3 : 1/1 : 1/2 }
or 2 : 6 : 3
Hence, (a) is correct [ Time = 1/ Efficiency ]
- A can do a piece of work in 24 days, while B can do it in 30 days. With the help of C they can finish the whole work in 12 days.How much time is required for C to complete the work, alone?

Efficiency of A = 100/24 = 4.16%
Efficiency of B = 100/30 = 3.33%
Efficiency of (A+ B+C) =100/12 = 8.33%
∴ Efficiency of C = (8.33) - (4.16 + 3.33) = 0.83%Correct Option: B
Efficiency of A = 100/24 = 4.16%
Efficiency of B = 100/30 = 3.33%
Efficiency of (A+ B+C) =100/12 = 8.33%
∴ Efficiency of C = (8.33) - (4.16 + 3.33) = 0.83%
∴ Number of days required by C to complete the work alone
= 100/0.83 = 100/(5/6) = 120 days
(Note : 5/6 = 0.833)
- A can do a piece of work in 10 days ,B can do it in 15 days. Working together they can finish the work in ?

Efficiency of A = 10%
Efficiency of B = 6.66%
∴ Required number of days = 100/16.66Correct Option: D
Efficiency of A = 10%
Efficiency of B = 6.66%
∴ Required number of days = 100/16.66 = 6 days
