      Question

      β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ can do a piece of work in 18 days

      and 25 days, respectively. They started working together but β€˜A’ left after 9 days. Find the time taken by β€˜B’ to complete the remaining work.
      A 5.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 6.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 2.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 3.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let total amount of work be 450 units (LCM of 18 and 25). Efficiency of β€˜A’ = 450/18 = 25 units/day Efficiency of β€˜B’ = 450/25 = 18 units/day Amount of work done by β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ together in 9 days = (25 + 18) Γ— 9 = 387 units Time taken by B to complete remaining work = {(450 – 387)/18} = 3.5 days
