The ratio of the efficiencies of two workers, P and Q, is 5 : 2. If P can complete a project in 12 days, how
many days will Q take to complete the same project alone?

  1. A.

    24 days

  2. B.

    30 days

  3. C.

    35 days

  4. D.

    40 days

Attempted by 57 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Efficiency and time are inversely proportional. Since P:Q efficiency = 5:2 and P takes 12 days, Q takes 12 x 5/2 = 30 days.
