[A]. 20 days
[B]. 22 1 days 2
[C]. 25 days
[D]. 30 days
✅ The correct answer is option B.
Ratio of times taken by A and B = 1 : 3.

The time difference is (3 – 1) 2 days while B take 3 days and A takes 1 day.

If difference of time is 2 days, B takes 3 days.

If difference of time is 60 days, B takes

3
x 60

= 90 days.
