Rakesh can do a certain job in 12 days. Vipin is 60% more efficient than Rakesh. How many days will Vipin alone take to do the same job ?

Solution

Correct Option: 1

Rakesh takes 12 days. Vipin is 60% more efficient, so Vipin's efficiency ratio =160:100=8:5=160:100=8:5. Time is inverse of efficiency, so Vipin's days =12×58=608=7.5=712=12\times\frac{5}{8}=\frac{60}{8}=7.5=7\frac{1}{2} days.
