    Question

    โ€˜Aโ€™ and โ€˜Bโ€™ can do a piece of work in 17 days

    and 34 days, respectively. They started working together but โ€˜Aโ€™ left after 4 days. Find the time taken by โ€˜Bโ€™ to complete the remaining work.
    A 20 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 21 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 22 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 25 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let total amount of work be 34 units (LCM of 17 and 34). Efficiency of โ€˜Aโ€™ = 34/17 = 2 units/day Efficiency of โ€˜Bโ€™ = 34/34 = 1 units/day Amount of work done by โ€˜Aโ€™ and โ€˜Bโ€™ together in 4 days = (2 + 1) ร— 4 = 12 units Time taken by B to complete remaining work = {(34 โ€“ 12)/1} = 22 days
