Given:

Number of work completed by Rita and Meena = 10 days

Number of work completed by Rita alone = 15 days

Formula used:

Efficiency of Rita and Meena = (30/10) = 3 units/day

Efficiency of Rita = (30/15) = 2 units/day

Efficiency of Meena = [30/(3 – 2)] units/day

AB || CD and t transversal intersects them at E and F
∠BEF + ∠EFD = 180° (co-interior angles)

⇒ ∠FEG + ∠EFG = 90°
In Δ GEF
