Correct Answer: 21 days
Solution : Given: Sachin is 12.5 percent less efficient than Rohit. The ratio of efficiency of Sachin and Rohit = (100 – 12.5) : 100 = 87.5 : 100 = 875 : 1000 = 7 : 8 The ratio of time taken by Sachin and Rohit = 8 : 7 Let the time taken by Sachin and Rohit alone be 8k and 7k respectively, 8k = 24 So, k = 3 Time taken by Rohit alone = 7k = 7 × 3 = 21 days. Hence, the correct answer is 21 days.
