    Question

    Aryan takes twice as much time as Vipin to finish a piece of work. Together they finish the same piece of work in 2 days. In how much time can Vipin do the same work?

    A.

    2 days

    B.

    3 days

    C.

    4 days

    D.

    6 days

    Correct option is B

    Given: 

    Aryan takes = 2 times time taken by Vipin 

    Concept Used:  

    Total work = Efficiency ×\times time 

    Efficiency1time\implies Efficiency \propto \frac{1}{time} 

    Solution: 

     Aryan’s time Vipin’s time=21  Aryan’s EfficiencyVipin’s Efficiency=12\frac{\text{ Aryan's time}}{\text{ Vipin's time}} = \frac{2}{1} \\ \ \\ \implies \frac{\text{Aryan's Efficiency}}{\text{Vipin's Efficiency}} = \frac{1}{2}  

    Together they finishes the work in 2 days,

    then, total work = 2×(2+1)=6 unit2 \times (2+1) = 6 \,unit 

    Now, time take by Vipin  = 62=3 days\frac{6}{2} = \bf 3\, days​​
