Option 3 : 19 days
GIVEN:
A can complete 3/4th of work done by B in 5/6th of the time taken by B to complete the whole work.
They can complete the whole work together in 10 days.
FORMULA USED:
Work = Time × Efficiency
CALCULATION:
Let A and B be the efficiencies of A and B respectively.
According to the question,
(A × 5/6)/(3/4) = (B × 1)/1
⇒ 10A = 9B
⇒ A : B = 9 : 10
They can complete the whole work together in 10 days.
So,
Total work = (9 + 10)x × 10 = 190x
Time taken by B alone to complete the work = 190x/10x = 19 days
∴ the correct answer is 19 days.
