A and B can complete a piece of work in 20 days and 30 days respectively. If they work on alternate days starting with B, in how many days will the work be finished?
A. 24 days
B. 26 days
C. 25 days
D. 23 days
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Total work = LCM(20, 30) = 60 units. Efficiency of A = 3, B = 2. In 2 days (B then A), work completed = 2 + 3 = 5 units. Time taken to complete 60 units = (60 / 5) * 2 = 24 days.
