B. 50
C. 100
D. 125

Answer E
let the work be 100%
so every day he did 5% work
and that is reducing by 20% of 5% i.e 1/5
\(5+5(4/5+4^2/5+...)\)
using GP formula for the red part we get 4
5+5(4)= 25% work done so the whole work will not be done
hence answer E
This was the catch...

let total Distance =100km
in normal circumstances, distance covered each day= 100/20=5 km
consideration weather conditions = 5 + 5(4/5) = 5 (4/5)(4/5)+...
Sum of GP = a / (1-r) = 5 / 1-(4/5) = 25 days
in normal circumstances, distance covered each day= 100/20=5 km
consideration weather conditions = 5 + 5(4/5) = 5 (4/5)(4/5)+...
Sum of GP = a / (1-r) = 5 / 1-(4/5) = 25 days
