Question : Jyothi can do $\frac{3}{4}$th of a job in 12 days. Mala is twice as efficient as Jyothi. In how many days will Mala finish the job?
Option 1: 6 days
Option 2: 8 days
Option 3: 12 days
Option 4: 16 days
Correct Answer: 8 days
Solution :
If Jyothi can do $\frac{3}{4}$th of a job in 12 days.
Then, she can do the whole job in $\frac{4}{3}$ × 12 = 16 days
Since Mala is twice as efficient as Jyothi, she can do the job in half the time it takes Jyothi.
Therefore, Mala can finish the job in = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 16 = 8 days
Hence, the correct answer is 8 days.
