Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 35 days Given: Vandana is 40% more efficient than Diksha, Diksha takes 14 days more than Vandana to complete a piece of work. Concept: Efficiency is inversely proportional to the time. Calculation: Ratio of efficiency of Vandana and Diksha = 140 ∶ 100 Ratio of time taken by Vandana and Diksha = 100 ∶ 140 Let Vandana takes 100x days, and Diksha takes 140x days to complete a piece of work. Days taken by Diksha – Days taken by Vandana = 9 ⇒ 140x – 100x = 14 ⇒ 40x = 14 ⇒ x = 7/20 Days taken by Vandana = 100x ⇒ 100 × 7/20 ⇒ 35 And, days taken by Diksha = 140x ⇒ 140 × 7/20 ⇒ 49 ∴ Vandana will take 35 days to complete the same work. |
