    Question

    A and B can do a piece of work in 30 days. B is 2 times efficient than A. Find the number of days taken by  A and B individually to do the same piece of work.

    A.

    A = 90 days and B= 45 days

    B.

    A = 90 days and B= 90 days

    C.

    A = 30 days and B= 45 days

    D.

    A = 30 days and B= 17 days

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    A and B together can complete the work in 30 days. B is 2 times efficient than A. We need to find the number of days taken by A and B individually to complete the work.
    Solution:
    Let the efficiency of A be x, so the efficiency of B will be 2x, as B is 2 times efficient than A.
    Together, A and B complete the work in 30 days, so their combined efficiency is 130\frac1{30}​ work per day.
    Thus,

    x+2x=130x + 2x = \frac{1}{30}  ​
    3x = 130\frac1{30} 

    x= 190\frac1{90}​​

    The number of days taken by A to complete the work is 1x=90days.\frac1x = 90 \text{days}.​​
    The number of days taken by B to complete the work is 12x=45days.\frac1{2x} = 45 \text{days}.
    Thus, A takes 90 days and B takes 45 days to complete the work individually.
