A) 22.5 days

B) 15 days

C) 20 days

D) 18 days

Correct Answer:
B) 15 days

Description for Correct answer:
A is thrice efficient as B



Let total unit of work to be done is x unit

Now according to question

\( \Large \frac{x}{3} = x - 40 \)

x = 3x - 120

2x = 120

x = 60



Number of days taken by both of them to 60 complete the work = \( \Large \frac{60}{4} \)= 15 days
