A takes more time to complete a work than B. If together they take to complete the work, how much time shall B take to do it alone?
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let the time taken by B to complete the work be days.
Then, time taken by A = days.
Ratio of time taken (A : B) = .
Since efficiency is inversely proportional to time, the ratio of efficiencies (A : B) = .
Let efficiency of A = units/day and efficiency of B = units/day.
Total work done together in :
Time taken by B alone to complete the work:
Then, time taken by A = days.
Ratio of time taken (A : B) = .
Since efficiency is inversely proportional to time, the ratio of efficiencies (A : B) = .
Let efficiency of A = units/day and efficiency of B = units/day.
Total work done together in :
Time taken by B alone to complete the work:
