    C 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

                           A+B         B Time                 24     :   55.2 Efficiency        55.2   :    24                          23    :    10 Efficiency of A+B = 23 Efficiency of B = 10 Efficiency of A = 23 – 10 = 13 Ratio = x:y = 13:10 So, x – y = 13 – 10 = 3
