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.
