Prakash and Avinash can complete the work in 24 days. If Prakash alone can complete it in 48 days, then in how many days can Avinash alone complete the work?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 48.
LCM(24, and 48) = 48
The efficiency of Prakash and Avinash = 48/24 = 2 units
The efficiency of Prakash = 48/48 = 1 unit
The efficiency of Avinash = 2 - 1 = 1 unit
Time taken by Avinash = 48/1 = 48 days
