A can do a work alone in 10 days. B can do the same work alone in 15 days. They start together but B leaves the job 2 days after start and A completes the remaining work alone. What is the total number of days in which the work is completed? |
$\frac{17}{3}$ $\frac{31}{3}$ $\frac{26}{3}$ $\frac{13}{3}$ |
$\frac{26}{3}$ |
A = 10 days, B = 15 days, ⇒ B worked for 2 days and left = 2 x 2 = 4 units, ⇒ Total work completed by A since day 1 = 30 - 4 = 26 (remaining work) ⇒ \(\frac{26}{3}\) days. Therefore, time in the which the whole work is completed is \(\frac{26}{3}\) days. |
