Correct Answer: 26 days
Solution : According to the question, Numan $× \frac{4}{5}$ = Gagan $× \frac{1}{2}$ ⇒ Numan = Gagan $× \frac{5}{8}$ ⇒ $\frac{\text{Numan}}{\text{Gagan}} = \frac{5}{8}$ Let Numan’s efficiency = 5 units/day And, Gagan’s efficiency = 8 units/day So, the total work $= 16 × (5 + 8)=16 × 13$ units Therefore, time taken by Gagan $= \frac{16 × 13}{8}=26$ Days Hence, the correct answer is 26 days.
