    B 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

                           A+B         B Time                 17     :   35.7 Efficiency        35.7   :    17                          21    :    10 Efficiency of A+B = 21 Efficiency of B = 10 Efficiency of A = 21 – 10 = 11 Ratio = x:y = 11:10 So, x – y = 11 – 10 = 1
