    Question

    A can finish a piece of work in 15 days and B can finish

    it in 20 days. They work together for 4 days and then B leaves. In how many more days can A alone finish the remaining work?
    A 12 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 10 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 18 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Assume total work = LCM(15, 20) = 60 units. A’s rate = 60/15 = 4 units/day B’s rate = 60/20 = 3 units/day Together in 1 day = 4 + 3 = 7 units In 4 days they complete = 7 × 4 = 28 units Remaining work = 60 − 28 = 32 units A alone does 4 units/day Required days = 32 / 4 = 8 days
