Question

    Aman finishes 2/5 of a task in 8 days, while Bhanu

    completes the entire task in 16 days. How long will it take for both Aman and Bhanu, working together, to complete 90% of the task?
    A 10 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 20 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 8 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 25 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ; Time taken by ‘Aman’ to complete whole work alone = 8 × (5/2) = 20 days Let total work = 80 units Efficiency of ‘Aman’ = 80/20 = 4 units/day Efficiency of ‘Bhanu’ = 80/16 = 5 units/day Required time taken = {(0.9 × 80)/(5 + 4)} = 8 days
