Answer: Option B
Solution (By Examveda Team)
$$\eqalign{ & 45\% = \frac{9}{{20}} \cr & {\text{Efficiency A}} = 29{\text{ and B}} = 20 \cr & 58 \times 49 + 29 \times 20 = 3422 \cr & {\text{Required answer A}} = \frac{{3422}}{{29}} = 118\,{\text{days}} \cr} $$This Question Belongs to Arithmetic Ability >> Time And Work
