Answers
Given info : A and B can do a job together in 7 days. A is 1 3/4 = 7/4 times as efficient as B.
To find : The same job can be done by A alone in ..
solution : a/c to question,
A is 7/4 times as efficient as B.
means, if A takes 4 days to complete a work, B will take 7 days to complete the same work.
so, if A takes x days, B will take 7x/4 days
now, A and B together complete a job in 7 days.
so, AB/(A + B) = 7
⇒x × 7x/4/(x + 7x/4) = 7
⇒7x/11 = 7
⇒x = 11
Therefore A takes 11 days to complete the work.
