Question : What is the value of $\frac{6}{13}[\frac{29}{12}+\frac{4}{18}(\frac{16}{12}+\frac{18}{9})–\frac{46}{15} \div \frac{23}{45}]$?
Option 1: $\frac{–312}{137}$
Option 2: $\frac{–307}{234}$
Option 3: $\frac{–294}{117}$
Option 4: $\frac{–207}{119}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{–307}{234}$
Solution : $\frac{6}{13}[\frac{29}{12}+\frac{4}{18}(\frac{16}{12}+\frac{18}{9})–\frac{46}{15} \div \frac{23}{45}]$ $=\frac{6}{13}[\frac{29}{12}+\frac{4}{18}\times(\frac{48+72}{36})–\frac{46}{15} \div \frac{23}{45}]$ $=\frac{6}{13}[\frac{29}{12}+\frac{20}{27}–\frac{46}{15} \div \frac{23}{45}]$ $=\frac{6}{13}[\frac{29}{12}+\frac{20}{27}–6]$ $=\frac{6}{13}\times[\frac{261+80–648}{108}]$ $=\frac{6}{13}\times\frac{–307}{108}$ $=\frac{–307}{13\times18}$ $=\frac{–307}{234}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{–307}{234}$.

Question : Reshma alone can do a work in 14 days. Bhavana is 40% more efficient than Reshma. The number of days, Bhavana alone will take to do the same piece of work is:
Option 1: 10 days
Option 2: 40 days
