A is twice as good a workman as B and together they finish a piece of work in 14 days. The number of days that A alone will take to finish the work is:

Solution

Correct Option: 2

Efficiency ratio A:B = 2:1, so combined efficiency = 3 units/day.

Total work = 14×3=4214 \times 3 = 42 units.

A alone takes 42/2=2142/2 = 21 days.
