    Question

    Raj is 60% more efficient than Sundar, and Sundar can finish a certain job in 16 days. How many days does Raj alone take to complete the same job?

    A.

    8 days

    B.

    7127\frac{1}{2}​ days

    C.

    10 days

    D.

    12 days

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    Raj is 60% more efficient than Sundar.

    Sundar can finish the job in 16 days.

    Formula Used: 

    Efficiency = Work DoneTime Taken\frac{\text{Work Done}}{\text{Time Taken}}

    Solution:

    Sundar's efficiency:

    Sundar can complete the job in 16 days, so his efficiency is 116\frac{1}{16}​​of the job per day.

    Raj's efficiency:
    Since Raj is 60% more efficient than Sundar, Raj's efficiency is 1.6 times that of Sundar.

    Therefore, Raj's efficiency is:

    Raj's efficiency = 1.6 × 116\frac{1}{16} = 1.616\frac{1.6}{16} = 110\frac{1}{10}​​

    Since Raj completes 110\frac{1}{10}110\frac{1}{10}

    of the job per day, he will take 10 days to complete the entire job.

    Raj will take 10 days to complete the job alone.

    Thus, option(C) is right.
