Question #1
A is 20% less efficient than B. If A can complete a work in 15 days, in how many days will B complete it?
A. 12 days
B. 9 days
C. 10 days
D. 11 days

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Let efficiency of B = 5, then efficiency of A = 4. Total work = Efficiency of A * Time of A = 4 * 15 = 60 units. Time taken by B = 60 / 5 = 12 days.

Question #3
A, B and C can complete a piece of work in 12, 15 and 20 days respectively. If they work together, what is the ratio of their wages?
A. 3 : 4 : 5
B. 5 : 4 : 3
C. 5 : 3 : 4
D. 4 : 5 : 6

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Wages are distributed in the ratio of their efficiencies. Ratio of time taken = 12 : 15 : 20. Ratio of efficiencies = 1/12 : 1/15 : 1/20. Multiplying by LCM (60), we get 5 : 4 : 3.
