Given:

Abhi can complete a work in 50 days

Varun is 25% more efficient than Abhi

Formula Used:

Total Work = Efficiency × Time required

Calculation:

Let the efficiency of Abhi be 4 units/day

⇒ Efficiency of Varun = 4 × (125/100) = 5 units/day

As Abhi can complete a work in 50 days

⇒ Total work = 50 × 4 = 200 units

Work done by Abhi and Varun in 8 days = (4 + 5) × 8 = 72 units

Remaining work = 200 - 72 = 128 units

Charu completes 128 units in 6\(\frac{2}{5}\) days

⇒ Efficiency of Charu = 128/(32/5) = 20 units/day

75% of total work = 200 × (75/100) = 150 units

Time required by Varun and Charu to complete 150 units

⇒ 150/(5 + 20) = 6 days

∴ Varun and Charu can complete 75% of total work in 6 days.
