Sakshi can do a piece of work in 20 days. Tanya is \( 25 \% \) more efficient than Sakshi. The number of days taken by Tanya to do the same piece of work is:

  • A. 15
  • B. 16
  • C. 18
  • D. 25

Step-by-step solution

Sakshi's work rate = 1/20 per day. Tanya is 25% more efficient, so her work rate = 1.25 * (1/20) = 1.25/20 = 1/16 per day. Thus, Tanya takes 16 days.
