Question #3
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

D. 13 days

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
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.
