Question
Select the correct answerA’s 2 days’ work is equal to B’s 3 days’ work. If A can complete the work in 8 days then to complete the work B will take?Options14 days15 days16 days12 days
Solution
The problem states that A's 2 days of work is equal to B's 3 days of work. This means that B works 2/3 as fast as A.
We know that A can complete the work in 8 days. Since B works 2/3 as fast as A, B will take 1/(2/3) = 1.5 times as long as A to complete the work.
Therefore, B will take 1.5 * 8 = 12 days to complete the work.
So, the correct answer is 12 days.
