- A7.5
- B10.5
- C2.5
- D5.5
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let the total work be the LCM of and , which is .Efficiency of Ramu:
Efficiency of Ravan:
Work done by Ramu alone in the first :
Work done by Ramu and Ravan together in the next :
Total work completed so far:
Remaining work:
Time taken by Ramu alone to finish the remaining work:
Efficiency of Ravan:
Work done by Ramu alone in the first :
Work done by Ramu and Ravan together in the next :
Total work completed so far:
Remaining work:
Time taken by Ramu alone to finish the remaining work:
