Correct Answer: 45 days
Solution : Since Priya is 40% more efficient than Reena Let the efficiency of Reena be 10, then the efficiency of Priya will be 14. Also, let the work done by Reena in days is 10% = 12 × 10 = 120 units So, the remaining work (90%) = 1080 units If both worked together, 1 day work for both = 10 + 14 = 24 units Time taken by them to finish the remaining work = $\frac{1080}{24}$ = 45 days Hence, the correct answer is 45 days.
