      Question

      A and B can complete a piece of work in  12 days

       and  18 days  respectively. They start working together, but  A leaves after 4 days . In how many  more days  will B finish the remaining work?
      A 5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 8 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 10 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 2 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let total work = LCM(12, 18) = 36 units A’s rate = 36 / 12 = 3 units/day B’s rate = 36 / 18 = 2 units/day In 4 days together: Work done = (3 + 2) × 4 = 5 × 4 = 20 units Remaining work = 36 − 20 = 16 units B alone does 2 units/day: Time = 16 / 2 = 8 days So B needs 8 more days.
