    Ram's efficiency is 30% more than his friend Shyam. There is a work to be done which Ram can do exactly in 20 days working alone. Ram works for 10 days and Shyam joins him and they together complete the work. The ratio of work done by Shyam to work done by Ram:

    A) 3:17                      

    B) 5:17

    C) 7:17                      

    D) none of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Ram can do work in 20 days Ram's 1 day's work \[SI=Rs.1920\]th Let Shyam complete the work in x days. \[\frac{PTR}{100}=Rs.1920\] Shyam's 1 day's work \[\frac{P\times 2\times 15}{100}=1920\] Now, Ram's efficiency is 30% more than Shyam. \[P=Rs.6400.\] \[A=8000{{\left( 1+\frac{5}{2\times 100} \right)}^{2}}=Rs.8405\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[=25000\times \left( 1+\frac{4}{100} \right)\times \left( 1+\frac{5}{100} \right)\times \left( 1+\frac{8}{100} \right)\]\[=25000\times \frac{26}{25}\times \frac{21}{20}\times \frac{27}{25}=29,484.\]\[=1,75,000\times {{\left( 1-\frac{20}{100} \right)}^{3}}\] \[=1,75,000\times \frac{4}{5}\times \frac{4}{5}\times \frac{4}{5}=Rs.89,600\]Shyam's 1 day's work \[P\left[ {{\left( 1+\frac{10}{100} \right)}^{2}}-1 \right]=525\] and Ram's 1 day's work \[P\times \frac{21}{100}=525\] \[\Rightarrow \]Ratio of work done by Shyam to work done by Ram \[P=Rs.2500\]
