    Question

    Ajay and Bheem collectively earned Rs.9,000 for

    completing a task, with Bheem's share being Rs.3,000. If Bheem can complete the work on his own in 48 days, determine the time taken by Ajay alone to complete the same task.
    A 24 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 25 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 45 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 35 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Ratio of efficiency of Ajay:Bheem = (9000 – 3000):3000 = 2:1 So, ratio of the time taken by ‘Ajay’ alone to complete the work and ‘Bheem’ alone to complete the same task, respectively = 1:2 Therefore, time taken by ‘Ajay’ alone to complete the work = 48/2 = 24 days
