A and B together can finish a work in 20 days. If they worked together for 8 days, then what was the share of work that was yet to be completed?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
A + B = 20 days,
Lets' take efficiency of A + B as 1.
Therefore, total work = 1 x 20 = 20 units, ..(Efficiency × Days = Total work)
⇒ A + B worked for 8 days = 1 x 8 = 8 units,
⇒ Fraction of work left = \(\frac{20 - 8}{20}\) = \(\frac{12}{20}\) = \(\frac{3}{5}\)
