Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 150/11 days

If Amita completed half of the work in 10 days it means she will complete the whole work in 20 days

Let the total work be LCM of 20 and 24 i.e 120

Efficiency = Total work/Total time taken

Efficiency of Surbhi = 120/24 = 5 

Efficiency of Amita = 120/20 = 6

125% of Total work = (125/100) × 120 = 150

By working together 150 unit work is done in 150/11 days
