A is twice as efficient as B and can finish a job in 20 days less than B. In how many days can they complete the work together?
A. 14(2/3) days
B. 12 days
C. 13(1/3) days
D. 15 days
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Efficiency ratio A : B = 2 : 1. Time ratio A : B = 1 : 2. Difference = 1 part = 20 days. So A takes 20 days and B takes 40 days. Total work = 40 units. Combined efficiency = 3. Time taken together = 40 / 3 = 13(1/3) days.
