A workshop can manufacture 300 units in 15 days. A second workshop with 80% efficiency is added. Time to produce 300 units now
Correct answer: B. 9
- A. 8.3
- B. 9
- C. 9.5
- D. 10
Explanation
Initially, the first workshop can produce 300 units in 15 days at a rate of 20 units per day. The second workshop, operating at 80% efficiency, contributes an additional 16 units per day (80% of 20 units). Together, both workshops produce 36 units per day (20 + 16). To manufacture 300 units, it now takes 300 / 36 = 8.33 days. Since production must be completed in whole days, it rounds up to 9 days. Option B is correct. Option A underestimates the time, while Options C and D overestimate it by failing to accurately calculate the combined production rates.

About Logical Problems
Logical problems present several conditions about people, objects, events or choices and require their possible arrangements to be tested. They cover constraint-based reasoning, rankings, matching, grouping, scheduling and elimination, with attention to the difference between a complete solution and a possibility that merely satisfies one condition.
