    could anyone explain 5th question more clearly

  • Anirban Majumder 9 years ago

    {K/(K-1)}* LESS DAYS
    {3/(3-1)*10}
    (3/2)*10
    3*5
    15DAYS

  • Anirban Majumder 9 years ago

    short cut :-

    times less/ (K-1) where K is efficiency

    therefore 10/ (3-1)

    =5 hence A takes 5 days to do the work {& which is 10 days less than that of B}

    so B takes 10+5 = 15 days

    Hello Manasa,

    In this type question where working capacity is given and we need to calculate the time.

    If you do certain work faster than me, then you will take less time than me, right !

    Now A is three times better workman than B.

    So, the work which B will do in 3 days, A will do in 1 day.

    So Ratio of time is 1:3

    If difference of time is 2 days, B takes 3 days (Please note from ratio 3 - 1 = 2)

    If difference of time is 10 days, B takes (3/2) * 10 =15 days.

    Thanks
