Question
A and B can complete a task together in 24 days, while B
alone takes 48 days to finish it. A began working alone and left after ‘x’ days, after which B completed the remaining work in 36 days. Determine the percentage of the total work completed by A.Solution
Let total amount of work be 48 units
Efficiency of (A + B) = 48/24 = 2 units/day
Efficiency of ‘B’ = 48/48 = 1 unit/day
Amount of work done by ‘B’ = 36 × 1 = 36 units
Percentage of work done by ‘A’ = {(48 – 36)/48} × 100 = 25%
