Question:
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 Tanya = 125 : 100 = 5 : 4.

Suppose Tanya takes x days to do the work.

5 : 4 :: 20 : x    x =		4 x 20
		5

x = 16 days.

Hence, Tanya takes 16 days to complete the work.
