In the following question, two statements are numbered as A and B. On solving these statements, we get quantities A and B respectively. Solve both quantities and choose the correct option. Quantity A: A can do 40% of a work in 6 days and B can do 30% of the same work in 3 days. They started the work together but B left after 2 days and A continued to work. In how many days was the entire work completed? Quantity B: Type 1 workers are two-and-a-half times as efficient as Type 2 workers. If 12 Type 1 workers can complete a task in 10 days, how many days would it take 6 type 1 and 10 type 2 workers to complete the same task?

In how many days was the entire work completed? Quantity B: Type 1 workers are two-and-a-half times as efficient as Type 2 workers. If 12 Type 1 workers can complete a task in 10 days, how many days would it take 6 type 1 and 10 type 2 workers to complete the same task? Correct Answer Quantity A = Quantity B or No relation
Quantity A:
A can do 40% of a work in 6 days
∴ A can do 100% of the work in 15 days
B can do 30% of the same work in 3 days
∴ B can do 100% of the same work in 10 days
Total work = LCM of (15 and 10) = 30
Efficiency of A = 30/15 = 2
Efficiency of B = 30/10 = 3
Work done by A and B together in 2 days = 5 × 2 = 10
Remaining work = 30 – 10 = 20
Remaining work done by A = 20/2 = 10 days
∴ Total Number of days = 10 + 2 = 12 days
Quantity B:Let the efficiency of type 2 workers be 2x
Efficiency of type 1 workers = 2x × (5/2) = 5x
As we know,
Total work = total work
Let 6 type 1 and 10 type 2 workers complete the work in y days, then
No. of type 1 workers × Efficiency of type 1 worker × days = (No. of type 1 workers × efficiency of type 1 worker × days) + (No. of type 2 workers × efficiency of type 2 worker × days)
⇒ 12 × 5x × 10 = 6 × 5x × y + 10 × 2x × y
⇒ 600x = 30xy + 20xy
⇒ 600x = 50xy
⇒ y = 600x/50x
⇒ y = 12 days
∴ Quantity A = Quantity B or No relation
