The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break it down: ### Step 1: Understand the Efficiency Ratio The efficiency ratio of A and B is given as 2:5. This means: - Efficiency of A (E_A) = 2 units of work per day - Efficiency of B (E_B) = 5 units of work per day ### Step 2: Calculate Total Efficiency When A and B work together, their combined efficiency is: \[ E_{total} = E_A + E_B = 2 + 5 = 7 \text{ units of work per day} \] ### Step 3: Calculate Total Work It is given that A and B together complete the work in 30 days. Therefore, the total work (TW) can be calculated as: \[ TW = E_{total} \times \text{Number of days} = 7 \times 30 = 210 \text{ units of work} \] ### Step 4: Calculate A's Work Rate Now, we need to find out how many days A would take to complete the same amount of work alone. Since A's efficiency is 2 units of work per day, we can calculate the time taken by A (T_A) to complete the total work: \[ T_A = \frac{TW}{E_A} = \frac{210}{2} = 105 \text{ days} \] ### Final Answer If A works alone, it will take him **105 days** to complete the work. ---
