A is 30% more efficient than B. How much time will they, working together, take to complete a job which A alone could have done in 23 days?

[A]. 11 days
[B]. 13 days
[C]. 20 3/17 days
[D]. None of these

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Ratio of times taken by A and B = 100 : 130 = 10 : 13.

Suppose B takes x days to do the work.

Then, 10 : 13 :: 23 : x     =>     x = 1-sym-oparen-h1 23 x 13 1-sym-cparen-h1     =>     x = 299 .
10 10
A's 1 day's work = 1 ;
23
B's 1 day's work = 10 .
299
(A + B)'s 1 day's work = 1-sym-oparen-h1 1 + 10 1-sym-cparen-h1 = 23 = 1 .
23 299 299 13

Therefore, A and B together can complete the work in 13 days.
