SSC CGL - 19 July 2023 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q51

Anil and Bipin together can complete a work in 15 days, while Bipin alone can finish it in 20 days. In how many days can Anil alone finish the work?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 60.

Given:

Anil and Bipin together can complete a work in 15 days.

Bipin alone can finish it in 20 days.

Calculations:

Total work (L.C.M of 15 and 20) = 60 units

The efficiency of Anil and Bipin = 60/15 = 4

The efficiency of Bipin = 60/20 = 3

So,

The efficiency of Anil = 4 - 3 = 1 unit

Time taken by Anil to finish the work = 60/1 = 60 days
