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.
