in 13 days. Who will finish the work first?

11. Anjan is Mukul's friend, and their efficiency ratio is 7:5. Working together, they complete 40% of the
work in 8 days, and Anjan completes the remaining work. If Anjan receives Rs 24000 for doing work, find
the amount Mukul will receive.

12. Amit and Bhanu can complete a piece of work in 9 and 18 days, respectively. However, because they
were ill, they could only work 45% and 90% of their efficiency, respectively. Thus, they will take 9 and 18
days to complete the work together.
