    C 3.75 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2.4 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total amount of work = 60 units {LCM of 12 and 20} Then, efficiency of тАШAтАЩ = 60/12 = 5 units/day Efficiency of тАШBтАЩ = 60/20 = 3 units/day Combined efficiency of тАШAтАЩ and тАШBтАЩ = 5 + 3 = 8 units/day Work completed by тАШAтАЩ and тАШBтАЩ together in 6 days = 6 ├Ч 8 = 48 units Remaining work = 60 тАУ 48 = 12 units Time taken by тАШAтАЩ alone to complete the remaining work = 12/5 = 2.4 days
