Sakshi can do a piece of work in 20 days. Tanya is 25% more efficient than Sakshi. The number of days taken by Tanya to do the same piece of work is?
A. 15
B. 16
C. 18
D. 25





Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Ratio of times taken by Sakshi and Tanys = 125:100 = 5:4
Suppose Tanya takes x days to do the work.
5:4 :: 20:x => x= 16 days.

 Hence, Tanya takes 16 days to complete the work.

 It takes 10 days for digging a trench of 100 m long, 50 m broad and 10 m deep.  What length of trench, 25 m broad and 15 m deep can be dug in 30 days ?       a) 400 m          b) 200 m          c) 100 m          d) 89m Expl : More days, more length (Direct)       Less breadth, more length (Indirect)       More depth, less length (Indirect       Days      10 : 30;       Breadth  25 : 50;                  : : 100 : x       Depth    15 : 10;                     :. 10 * 25* 15 * x = 30 *50 * 10 *100             x= (30*50*10*100)/10*25*15 = 400      So the required length = 400m
