Work Efficiency Problem Solution

Problem: Asha and Babu can do a job together in 7 days. Asha is \( rac{7}{4} \) times as efficient as

Given:

1. Asha and Babu together can complete a job in 7 days.

2. Asha is \( \frac{7}{4} \) times as efficient as Babu.

Let:

- \( A \) be Asha's work rate (fraction of the job per day).

- \( B \) be Babu's work rate (fraction of the job per day).

From the given information:

\[ A + B = \frac{1}{7} \]

Since Asha is \( \frac{7}{4} \) times as efficient as Babu:

\[ A = \frac{7}{4} B \]

Substitute \( A \) in the equation \( A + B = \frac{1}{7} \):

\[ \frac{7}{4} B + B = \frac{1}{7} \]

Combine the terms:

\[ \frac{7}{4} B + \frac{4}{4} B = \frac{1}{7} \]

\[ \frac{11}{4} B = \frac{1}{7} \]

Solve for \( B \):

\[ B = \frac{4}{11} \cdot \frac{1}{7} \]

\[ B = \frac{4}{77} \]
 Work Efficiency Problem Solution

Next, we find \( A \):

\[ A = \frac{7}{4} B \]

\[ A = \frac{7}{4} \cdot \frac{4}{77} \]

\[ A = \frac{7}{77} \]

\[ A = \frac{1}{11} \]

Thus, Asha's work rate is \( \frac{1}{11} \) jobs per day. Therefore, the time it takes for Asha alone to

complete the job is:

\[ \text{Time taken by Asha} = \frac{1}{A} = 11 \text{ days} \]

Therefore, Asha alone can complete the job in 11 days.
