      Question

      A’ and ‘B’ together can complete a work in 18 days

      while ‘A’ takes 36 days to complete the same work alone. If ‘C’ is 50% more efficient than ‘B’, then find the time taken by ‘C’ alone to complete the whole work.
      A 25 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 23 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 24 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 21 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the total work = 36 units Efficiency of (A + B) = 36/18 = 2 units/day Efficiency of ‘A’ = 36/36 = 1 unit/day Therefore, efficiency of ‘B’ = 2 – 1 = 1 units/day Efficiency of ‘C’ = 1.5 × 1 = 1.5 units/day Required time taken = 36/1.5 = 24 days
