Question
A and B can complete a task together in 22 days, while B
alone takes 44 days to finish it. A began working alone and left after ‘x’ days, after which B completed the remaining work in 33 days. Determine the percentage of the total work completed by A.Solution
Let total amount of work be 44 units
Efficiency of (A + B) = 44/22 = 2 units/day
Efficiency of ‘B’ = 44/44 = 1 unit/day
Amount of work done by ‘B’ = 33 × 1 = 33 units
Percentage of work done by ‘A’ = {(44 – 33)/44} × 100 = 25%
