- B. 200%
work by Ram in 12 days 40% or 40/100=2/5, so work in 1 day=2/5*12=1/30
After 12 days work of Ram, work remaining=1-(2/5)=3/5
Remaining work is completed in another 12 days,
so 1 day work of Ram & Ravi=3/5*12=3/60=1/20
If Ravi's 1 day work=1/x, (Ram+Ravi) 1day work=1/30 + 1/x = 1/20 or 1/x=1/60
Efficiency of Ram to Ravi in %=100[(1/30)/(1/60)]=200
