SSC GD Const (English) - 29 Feb 2024 - Shift 4 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q51

Raj is 20 percent less efficient than Rahul If Rahul can make a computer in 20 days, then Raj can make the same computer in how many days? .

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 25 days.

Rahul can make a computer in 20 days

Rahul's efficiency = 1/20 computers per day

Raj is 20 percent less efficient than Rahul

Raj's efficiency = 0.8 × Rahul's efficiency

Raj's efficiency = 0.8 × 1/20 = 0.8/20 = 1/25 computers per day

Thus, time taken by Raj = 1/Raj's efficiency

Time = 1/1/25 = 25 days

Thus, Raj will take 25 days to make the same computer.
