    Question

    β€˜A’ alone can complete a work in 20 days. β€˜B’

    alone can complete the same work in 25 days. If β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ work together for 7 days, then the remaining work can be completed by β€˜A’ alone in how many days?
    A 5.4 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 6.4 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7.4 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8.4 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total amount of work = 100 units {LCM of 20 and 25} Then, efficiency of β€˜A’ = 100/20 = 5 units/day Efficiency of β€˜B’ = 100/25 = 4 units/day Combined efficiency of β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ = 5 + 4 = 9 units/day Work completed by β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ together in 7 days = 7 Γ— 9 = 63 units Remaining work = 100 – 63 = 37 units Time taken by β€˜A’ alone to complete the remaining work = 37/5 = 7.4 days
