    Question

    β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ can do a piece of work in 12 days

    and 24 days, respectively. They started working together but β€˜A’ left after 4 days. Find the time taken by β€˜B’ to complete the remaining work.
    A 10 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 15 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 14 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let total amount of work be 24 units (LCM of 12 and 24). Efficiency of β€˜A’ = 24/12 = 2 units/day Efficiency of β€˜B’ = 24/24 = 1 units/day Amount of work done by β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ together in 4 days = (2 + 1) Γ— 4 = 12 units Time taken by B to complete remaining work = {(24 – 12)/1} = 12 days
