Option 1 : 72

Given :

Surya and Manoj can complete a work in 54 days if they work together. 

Surya left the work 24 days before the completion of the work. 

Concept used : 

Total work = work efficiency × Total time 

Calculation :

Total work = 54 units 

Surya and Manoj per day work = 54/54 

⇒ 1 unit 

Surya left the work 24 days before the completion.

So they worked together for 30 days    (54 - 24 = 30)

Work completed by them in 30 days = 30 × 1

⇒ 30 units 

Remaining work = 54 - 30 

⇒ 24 units 

Manoj can complete this remaining work in 96 days 

Manoj's per day work = 24/96 

⇒ (1/4) units 

Manoj per day work + Surya per day work = 1 unit 

Surya per day work = (3/4) unit 

Time taken by Surya to complete whole work (54 units) alone = 54/(3/4) 

⇒ 72 days 

∴ Option 1 will be the correct choice.
