S, M, E and F are working in shifts in a team to finish a project. M works with twice the efficiency of others but for half as many days as E worked. S and M have 6 hour shifts in a day, whereas E and F have 12 hours shifts. What is the ratio of contribution of M to contribution of E in the project?

Detailed Solution: Question 4

Let the efficiency of M = 2 [ efficiency of S, E, and F]
The amount of work done by M in the project = x days × 6 hrs. ×2
The amount of work done by M in the project = 2x days × 12 hrs. ×1
The amount of work done by M: The amount of work done by M
x × 6 × 2 : 2x × 12 × 1
1 : 2 so option(b) is correct
‘M’ works with twice efficiency as E but worked for half as many days. So in this repsect they willdo equal work if their shifts would have been for same timings. But M’s shift is for hrs, while E’sshift for 12 hrs. Hence E will do twice the work as M.Ratio of contribution of M : E in work, 1 : 2
