Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 3 : 84

Given:

Ronit is twice as efficient as Ajay.

He can finish work in 42 less days than Ajay.

Formula used:

Total work done = Efficiency × Total number of days

Concept used:

The ratio of efficiency of Ronit and Ajay = 2 : 1

The ratio of time of Ronit and Ajay = 1 : 2

Let the time taken by Ronit and Ajay be 1x and 2x respectively.

2x - x = 42

⇒ x = 42

Time taken by Ajay = 2x

⇒ 2 × 42

⇒ 84 days

∴ Ajay can finish the work in 84 days.
