A and B can do a job together in 7 days. A is $$1\frac{3}{4}$$ times as efficient as B. The same job can be done by A alone in :
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
$$\eqalign{
& \left( {{\text{A's}}\,{\text{1}}\,{\text{day's}}\,{\text{work}}} \right){\text{:}}\left( {{\text{B's}}\,{\text{1}}\,{\text{day's}}\,{\text{work}}} \right) \cr
& = \frac{7}{4}:1 = 7:4 \cr
& {\text{Let}}\,{\text{A's}}\,{\text{and}}\,{\text{B's}}\,{\text{1}}\,{\text{day's}}\,{\text{work}}\,{\text{be}} \cr
& 7x\,{\text{and}}\,4x\,{\text{respectively}} \cr
& {\text{Then}},\,7x + 4x = \frac{1}{7} \cr
& \Rightarrow 11x = \frac{1}{7} \cr
& \Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{{77}} \cr
& \therefore {\text{A's}}\,{\text{1}}\,{\text{day's}}\,{\text{work}} \cr
& = {\frac{1}{{77}} \times {\text{7}}} = \frac{1}{{11}} \cr} $$
So, A will do the work in 11 days
So, A will do the work in 11 days
