Questions : A can complete a work in 40 days. B is 25% more efficient than A. In how many days B alone can complete the work ?

Answer:  

 We can solve this quickly using a direct shortcut approach:
  1. A completes the work in 40 days.

    • So, A's work efficiency = 1/40 (fraction of work done per day).
  2. B is 25% more efficient than A.

    • That means B does 1.25 times the work A does in a day.
    • So, B’s efficiency = 1.25 × (1/40) = 1/32 (work done per day).
  3. Total work is 1 unit, so the number of days B needs:

    Days=1B’s efficiency=11/32=32 days\text{Days} = \frac{1}{\text{B's efficiency}} = \frac{1}{1/32} = 32 \text{ days}

Final Answer:

B alone can complete the work in 32 days.
