    Question

    A and B together can finish a work in 10 days. If A

    alone can finish it in 25 days, in how many days can B alone finish it?
    A 28/5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 50/3 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 35/8 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 44/7 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let total work = 1 unit. (A + B)’s 1-day work = 1/10 A’s 1-day work = 1/25 So B’s 1-day work = 1/10 − 1/25 LCM(10,25) = 50 1/10 = 5/50 1/25 = 2/50 B’s 1-day work = (5 − 2)/50 = 3/50 Time for B alone = 1 ÷ (3/50) = 50/3 days
