A and B can do a job together in 7 days. A is 1 ¾ times as efficient as B. the same job can be done by A alone in:
A). 10 days
B). 11 days
C). 12 days
D). 13 days
11 days
1 ¾ = 7/4
7/4 A = B, replacing B by 7/4 A, we get
A × 7/4 A/ A + 7/4 A = 7days
7 A × A/4 / 11A/4 = 7 A × A/ 11 A = 7A /11 = 7
A = 77/7 = 11, So, A alone can finish the work in 11 days.
