    Question

    A's efficiency is twice that of B's. A can work only for 8 hours a day while B can work for 12 hours a day. If A can finish a work in 12 days, in how many days can B finish the same work?

    A.

    8

    B.

    10

    C.

    16

    D.

    12

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    A is twice efficient than B.

    A can work only for 8 hours a day while B can work for 12 hours a day

    Formula used:

    Men × Day = Total work

    Solution:

    Let the time taken by B to complete work be b.

    => 2 × 8 × 12 = 1 × b × 12 

    => b = 192/12 

    => b = 16
