Correct Answer :

Option A

54

54

Solution :

The correct answer is 54.

Let the total printing order be represented as 1 unit (or the entire order).
We are given that Rajesh completes 1727 of the order in 34 days.

To find the time taken to complete the entire order (which is 1 unit), we can use the unitary method.
Let x be the total number of days required to complete the entire order.

The rate of work done per day is constant, so we can set up the proportion:
Work doneDays taken=Constant rate

Therefore, we write:
(1727)34=1x

Now, we solve for x by cross-multiplying:
x=34×2717

We can simplify this by dividing 34 by 17:
3417=2

Substituting this back into the equation gives:
x=2×27
x=54

Thus, Rajesh will complete the entire order of printings in 54 days.
