Answer : 1. "12 days"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 12 days Explanation: It is given that efficiency ratio =3:1 so time ratio will be 1:3 (since work is same)   Also given that time diff = 32 days. ratio difference = 3-1 =2  2 ratio = 32 days 1 ratio = 16 days. So A will alone finish it in 16 days and B will finish it in 16*3 = 48 days.   Total work = LCM of 16 and 48 = 48. Total time = Total work/Total efficiency  ie; 48/4= 12 days.
