Given:

A completes the work = 2415 days

B is 25% more efficient than A.

Formula used:

Total work = Efficiency × days

Calculation:

Let Efficiency of A = 100 unit

According to the question

Efficiency of B = 125 unit

The ratio of A and B = 100: 125

= 4: 5

Efficiency of A = 4 unit

Total work = 4 × 2415

= 9660 unit

Efficiency of B = 5 unit

The number of days taken by B = 9660/5

= 1932 days

∴ The correct answer is the 1932 days.
