    Solution

    ATQ, Time taken by β€˜B’ to complete the work = 1.1 Γ— 18 = 19.8 days (round up to 20 days) Let the total work = 180 units Efficiency of β€˜A’ = 180/18 = 10 units/day Efficiency of β€˜B’ = 180/20 = 9 units/day Work completed by β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ in 15 days = (10 + 9) Γ— 15 = 285 units (exceeds total units, adjust to maximum possible, which is 180 units) Since the total work is completed in the given period, x = 0 days
