##### Method of solving this CAT Question from Work and Time

Given that Ramesh and Ganesh can together complete a work in 16 days
After seven days of working together, Ramesh got sick and his efficiency fell by 30%.
To the original schedule of 16 days there are 9 more days and in this 9 days Ramesh fall short by 9 × 0.3x = 2.7x where x is the work done by Ramesh in a day
So the change = 2.7x (i.e. the gap because of drop in efficiency)
This 2.7x is compensated by one day of Ganesh + another 0.7 of Ramesh
2.7x = G + 0.7 x (Because the last day also he works with reduced efficiency)
2x = G
Hence Ganesh works twice as that of Ramesh.
If Ganesh had worked alone after Ramesh got sick means in the 7 days Ramesh would have completed $$frac{7}{48}$ of the task Ganesh on each day can do $\frac{1}{24}$ of the task Task to be completed by Ganesh is $\frac{41}{48}$ completely One day he can complete $\frac{1}{24}$ so $\frac{41}{48}$ × $\frac{24}{1}$ = 20.5 days If Ganesh had worked alone after Ramesh got sick, the no.of days needed for completing the remaining work is 20.5 – 7 = 13.5 days The question is "Ramesh and Ganesh can together complete a work in 16 days. After seven days of working together, Ramesh got sick and his efficiency fell by 30%. As a result, they completed the work in 17 days instead of 16 days. If Ganesh had worked alone after Ramesh got sick, in how many days would he have completed the remaining work?" ##### Hence, the answer is 13.5 Choice C is the correct answer. ###### 2IIM's Online CAT CoachingGet CAT Last Mile Prep Course for 799 /- Signup Now! ###### Already have an Account? ###### CAT Coaching in ChennaiCAT 2020Enroll at 44,000/- Next Weekend Batch Starts Sat, Nov 2nd, 2019 ###### Best CAT Coaching in ChennaiRegister Online, get Rs 4000/- off Attend a Demo Class ##### Where is 2IIM located? 2IIM Online CAT Coaching A Fermat Education Initiative, 58/16, Indira Gandhi Street, Kaveri Rangan Nagar, Saligramam, Chennai 600 093 ##### How to reach 2IIM?
