Correct Answer: 50 days


Solution : Shikha worked for 20 days and completed 20% of the work
Let the efficiency of Shikha is 1 unit per day.
Shikha works 20 units in 20 days which is 20% of the work.
So, total work = 100 units
Since Tina is 100% more efficient than Shikha
So, the efficiency of Tina will be 2 units per day.
Time taken by Tine to finish the total work = $\frac{100}{2}$ = 50 days
Hence, the correct answer is 50 days.
