After working for 8 days, Arun finds that only 13 rd of the work has been done. He employs Akhil who is 60% as efficient as Arun. How many days more would Akhil take to complete the work?

Correct Answer: 26.6 days

Explanation:

Arun has completed 1 3 rd of the work in 8 days


Then he can complete the total work in


1 3  ---- 8


 1 ---- ?


= 24 days



But given Akhil is only 60% as efficient as Arun


Akhil = 1 24 × 60 100 = 1 40


Akhil can complete the total work in 40 days


Now, remaining 2/3rd of work can be completed in


 1  ------   40


2 3  ------   ?  


= 26.66 days.
