      Question

      A and B can complete a task together in 14 days, while B

      alone takes 28 days to finish it. A began working alone and left after β€˜x’ days, after which B completed the remaining work in 21 days. Determine the percentage of the total work completed by A.
      A 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 15% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 40% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let total amount of work be 28 units
      Efficiency of (A + B) = 28/14 = 2 units/day
      Efficiency of β€˜B’ = 28/28 = 1 unit/day
      Amount of work done by β€˜B’ = 21 Γ— 1 = 21 units
      Percentage of work done by β€˜A’ = {(28 – 21)/28} Γ— 100 = 25%
