5. S. M. E and F are working in shifts in a team to finish a
project. M works with twice the efficiency of others but
for half as many days as E worked. S and M have 6 hour
shifts in a day, whereas E and F have 12 hours shifts.
What is the ratio of contribution of M to contribution of E
in the project?
a) 1:1
b) 1:2
c) 1:4
d) 2:1
Ans. (B) ‘M’ works with twice efficiency as E but worked
for half as many days. So in this respect they will do
equal work if their shifts would have been for same
timings. But M’s shift is for hrs, while E’s shift for 12 hrs.
Hence E will do twice the work as M.
Ratio of contribution of M : E in work, 1 : 2
