    A can finish a piece of work in 24 days. B is 20% more efficient than A. C is 25% more efficient than B. In how many days B and C together can finish the same piece of work?

    A)  \[8\frac{8}{9}\]

    B)  \[9\frac{1}{3}\]

    C)  \[8\frac{5}{8}\]                        

    D)  \[10\frac{2}{9}\]

    E)  \[9\frac{1}{6}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Time taken by A alone = 24 days According to the question, Time taken by B alone \[=\frac{100}{120}\times 24=20\,days\] Time taken by C alone \[=\frac{100}{125}\times 20=16\,days\] \[\therefore \,\,\] (B + C)'s 1 day's work \[=\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{16}\] \[=\frac{4+5}{80}=\frac{9}{80}\] \[\therefore \] Required time \[\,=\frac{80}{9}\] \[=8\frac{8}{9}\] days
