Solutions
The sensors in our eyes detect only those wavelengths which are in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

120. A is thrice as efficient as B and is therefore able to finish a work in 60 days less than B. Find the time in which A and B can together complete the same work.
A. 22.5 days
B. 23.5 days
C. 21.5 days
D. 24.5 days
Solutions
Efficiency of A:B = 3:1
Number of days required to complete the work = 1:3
If A requires x days then B requires 3x days and the difference is 60 days.
3x – x = 60
2x = 60
x = 30 and 3x = 90
Therefore, A can finish the work in 30 days and B can finish the work in 90 days.
Now, A and B will together complete the work in
