A alone can do a work in 20 days. B is 125% more efficient than A. A and B started working and worked for 4 days. If C alone completed the remaining job in 22 days. How many days C alone takes to complete the entire job?

A) 30	B) 35
C) 40	D) 42

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 40

Explanation:

A alone can do = 20days

Efficiency ratio of A & B= 4 : 5

Time required will be in ratio = 5:4

B alone will do it in =16 days

LCM of (16,20)= 80 ,

Assume work size of 80 units

1 day work of A= 4 units 1 day work of B= 5 units

Work done by both in 4 days= 4*(5+4)= 36 units

Work left= 80-36= 44 units

Now C takes 22 days to complete= 44 units.

Time taken by C alone to complete the work= 40 days

Deposit =1/3 of $3695 = $1231.67

Loan amount = $3695.00 − $1231.67 = $2463.33

Total cost of loan = $25.97 × 104= $2700.88

Interest charged = total amount − loan
I = A − P
= 2700.88 − 2463.33
= 237.55
