      Take total work = LCM(15, 20) = 60 units. A’s rate = 60/15 = 4 units/day B’s rate = 60/20 = 3 units/day Together for 4 days: Work done = (4 + 3) Γ— 4 = 7 Γ— 4 = 28 units Remaining work = 60 βˆ’ 28 = 32 units Now only B works: Time = remaining work / B’s rate = 32 / 3 = 10β…” days Answer: B will take 10β…” days more.
