Answer» Answer: 25 days Step-by-step explanation: A TAKE 42 days to complete work A 1 DAY work is 1 / 42 A 7 days work 7 / 42 = 1 / 6 remaining work = 1 - 1/ 6 = 5 / 6 B is 40% more efficient than A means B efficiency is 140/ 100 × A efficiency I.e. If A efficiency is 1 so B efficiency is 140/ 100 = 7 / 5 let B takes x days to complete work SO 1 × 42 = 7 / 5 × x x = 30 days so 1 day work of B is 1 / 30 let B worked for y days so 1/30 × y = 5/6 y = 25 days |
