      Question

      β€˜A’ alone can complete a work in 15 days. β€˜B’

      alone can complete the same work in 20 days. If β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ work together for 5 days, then the remaining work can be completed by β€˜A’ alone in how many days?
      A 6.25 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 6.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 5.25 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 5.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the total amount of work = 60 units {LCM of 15 and 20} Then, efficiency of β€˜A’ = 60/15 = 4 units/day Efficiency of β€˜B’ = 60/20 = 3 units/day Combined efficiency of β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ = 4 + 3 = 7 units/day Work completed by β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ together in 5 days = 5 Γ— 7 = 35 units Remaining work = 60 – 35 = 25 units Time taken by β€˜A’ alone to complete the remaining work = 25/4 = 6.25 days
