Each of A, B, C and D require a unique time to do a certain work. B requires twice the time A requires to do the work. A started the work and do it for 10 days, then he is replaced by B, who worked for four more days than A worked, after that B also left the work. C and D started working on alternative days starting from C and both completed the remaining work in 30 days. The ratio of the efficiency of C and D is 5 : 3 and both together did 32% of the total work.
E and F together work for 12 days, then they are replaced by A and B and they completed the remaining work in 10 days. If the ratio of efficiencies of E and F is 3 : 2 and E and F together completed the whole work then find the difference between the part of work done by E and the part of work done by F in one day?

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into manageable parts. ### Step 1: Understanding the Work Distribution - Let A's time to complete the work be \( x \) days. - Then, B's time to complete the work is \( 2x \) days (since B requires twice the time of A). - The efficiencies of A and B can be expressed as: - Efficiency of A = \( \frac{1}{x} \) - Efficiency of B = \( \frac{1}{2x} \) ### Step 2: Work Done by A and B - A works for 10 days, so the work done by A in 10 days is: \[ \text{Work by A} = 10 \times \frac{1}{x} = \frac{10}{x} \] - B works for \( 10 + 4 = 14 \) days (4 more days than A), so the work done by B is: \[ \text{Work by B} = 14 \times \frac{1}{2x} = \frac{14}{2x} = \frac{7}{x} \] ### Step 3: Total Work Done by A and B - Total work done by A and B together: \[ \text{Total Work by A and B} = \frac{10}{x} + \frac{7}{x} = \frac{17}{x} \] ### Step 4: Remaining Work - The total work is represented as 100%. We know that C and D together completed 32% of the work in 30 days. Therefore, the remaining work done by A and B is: \[ \text{Remaining Work} = 100\% - 32\% = 68\% \] - This can be expressed in terms of total work \( W \): \[ \frac{17}{x} = 0.68W \] ### Step 5: Finding Total Work \( W \) - Given that C and D together completed 120 units of work (32% of total work): \[ 0.32W = 120 \implies W = \frac{120}{0.32} = 375 \] ### Step 6: Work Done by A and B - Substitute \( W \) into the equation: \[ \frac{17}{x} = 0.68 \times 375 \] \[ \frac{17}{x} = 255 \implies 17 = 255x \implies x = \frac{17}{255} = \frac{1}{15} \] ### Step 7: Finding Efficiencies - Now, substituting \( x \) back: - Efficiency of A = \( \frac{1}{x} = 15 \) - Efficiency of B = \( \frac{1}{2x} = 7.5 \) ### Step 8: Work Done by E and F - Let the efficiencies of E and F be \( 3y \) and \( 2y \) respectively. - They work together for 12 days: \[ \text{Work by E and F} = (3y + 2y) \times 12 = 5y \times 12 = 60y \] - After E and F, A and B complete the remaining work in 10 days: \[ \text{Work by A and B in 10 days} = (15 + 7.5) \times 10 = 225 \] - Total work done by E and F plus A and B must equal total work: \[ 60y + 225 = 375 \implies 60y = 150 \implies y = \frac{150}{60} = 2.5 \] ### Step 9: Finding Efficiencies of E and F - Efficiency of E = \( 3y = 3 \times 2.5 = 7.5 \) - Efficiency of F = \( 2y = 2 \times 2.5 = 5 \) ### Step 10: Work Done in One Day - Work done by E in one day: \[ \text{Work by E in one day} = \frac{7.5}{375} = \frac{1}{50} \] - Work done by F in one day: \[ \text{Work by F in one day} = \frac{5}{375} = \frac{1}{75} \] ### Step 11: Finding the Difference - Difference in work done by E and F in one day: \[ \text{Difference} = \frac{1}{50} - \frac{1}{75} \] - Finding a common denominator (150): \[ = \frac{3}{150} - \frac{2}{150} = \frac{1}{150} \] ### Final Answer The difference between the part of work done by E and the part of work done by F in one day is: \[ \frac{1}{150} \]
