CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. 25% more efficient: Tanvi does 54\frac{5}{4} of Rakesh's work per hour.

  2. Time = 20÷54=20×45=1620 \div \frac{5}{4} = 20 \times \frac{4}{5} = 16 hours.

Worth noting

25% more efficient does NOT mean 25% less time. 20−25%=1520 - 25\% = 15 hours is the trap; the time falls by only 20%.
