The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the number of days required by Ajit and Bablu to complete a work alone, given that Ajit is 3 times as efficient as Bablu. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Efficiency**: - Let the efficiency of Bablu be \( E_B = 1 \) unit of work per day. - Since Ajit is 3 times as efficient as Bablu, his efficiency will be \( E_A = 3 \) units of work per day. 2. **Understanding the Relationship**: - Efficiency is defined as the amount of work done per unit time. Therefore, if the efficiency increases, the time taken to complete the work decreases. - The formula relating efficiency and time is: \[ \text{Efficiency} = \frac{\text{Work}}{\text{Time}} \] - If we consider the total work to be constant, the efficiency and time are inversely proportional. 3. **Setting Up the Ratio of Efficiencies**: - The ratio of the efficiencies of Ajit and Bablu can be expressed as: \[ \frac{E_A}{E_B} = \frac{3}{1} \] 4. **Finding the Ratio of Time Taken**: - Since time is inversely proportional to efficiency, the ratio of the time taken by Ajit (T_A) to the time taken by Bablu (T_B) will be the inverse of their efficiency ratio: \[ \frac{T_A}{T_B} = \frac{1}{3} \] 5. **Expressing the Ratio**: - Therefore, the ratio of the number of days required by Ajit to Bablu is: \[ T_A : T_B = 1 : 3 \] ### Final Answer: The ratio of the number of days required by Ajit and Bablu to work alone is \( 1 : 3 \). ---
