    Asha is 1
    3
    times
    4

    as efficient as Babu. The same job can be done by Asha alone in
    1. 49
      days
      4

    2. 49
      days
      3
    3. 11 days
    4. 28
      days
      3
Correct Option: C

Ratio of efficiency of Babu and Asha

= 1 :
7
= 4 : 7
4

As the time taken is inversely proportional to efficiency, therefore, if Babu takes 7x days to complete work, Asha will take 4x days.
=
1
+
1
=
1
7x4x7

4 + 7
=
1
28x7

⇒ 28x = 11 × 7
⇒ x =
11 × 7
=
11
284

∴ Asha will complete the work in
4x = 4 ×
11
= 11 days
4

Aliter : Using Rule 22,
Here, n =
7
, D = 7
4

∴ Time taken by Asha
=
n + 1
× D days
n

=
(7/4) + 1
× 7
7/4

=
11
× 7 = 11 days
