Ajit is two times as good a workman as Badrinath and therefore is able to finish a job in days less than Badrinath. Working together, they can do it in:
- A10 days
- B30 days
- C15 days
- D20 days
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let the efficiency of Badrinath be .Since Ajit is twice as good, the efficiency of Ajit is .The ratio of time taken to complete a job is inversely proportional to their efficiencies:
Let the time taken by Ajit be days and Badrinath be days.The difference in days is given as :
Thus:Time taken by Ajit = daysTime taken by Badrinath = daysTotal work can be calculated as:
Combined efficiency of Ajit and Badrinath = units/day.Time taken working together:
