A can do a certain work in 12 days. B is 60% more efficient than A. How many days does B alone take to do the same job?

• a=100% work one day(1 work)
  b=160% work one day(1.6 work)
  
  so 12/1.6 = 7.5 days b alone complete the job

• ratio of time taken for A and B is: 160:100=12:x
  hence, 8:5=12:x
  solving this we get x=7.5
  sol:7.5

• A can complete work in - 12 days
  Meaning A does 1/12 work in - 1 day
  
  Let B complete work in 'x' days
  Then B does 1/x work in - 1 day
  
  Also B is 160/100 times more faster than A.
  
  So,
  
  (1/12) * (160/100) = 1/x
  
  2/15 = 1/x
  
  x = 15/2
  
  => x = 7.5 !!
