A is 30% more efficient than B. How much time will they take together to complete a job which A alone can finish in 23 days?
A. 11 days
B. 14 days
C. 12 days
D. 13 days
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Let efficiency of B = 10, then efficiency of A = 13. Total work = Efficiency of A * Time taken by A = 13 * 23 = 299 units. Combined efficiency of A and B = 13 + 10 = 23. Time taken together = 299 / 23 = 13 days.

Question #3 Report Error
If 20 men can build a wall 56 meters long in 6 days, what length of a similar wall can be built by 35 men in 3 days?
A. 49 meters
B. 52 meters
C. 56 meters
D. 42 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Using (M1 * D1) / W1 = (M2 * D2) / W2: (20 * 6) / 56 = (35 * 3) / W2 => 120 / 56 = 105 / W2 => W2 = (105 * 56) / 120 = (7 * 56) / 8 = 7 * 7 = 49 meters.
