2. If A is thrice as good as B, then


a) In a given amount of time, A will be able to do 3 times the work B does. Ratio of work done by A and B (in the same time) = 3: 1.

b) For the same amount of work, B will take thrice the time as much as A takes. Ratio of time taken by A and B (same work done) = 1: 3.

3. Efficiency is directly proportional to the work done and inversely proportional to the time taken.
