A and B can do a work in 15 days and 20 days respectively. If they work together for 4 days, then the fraction of the work that is left is: |
$\frac{1}{4}$ $\frac{1}{10}$ $\frac{7}{15}$ $\frac{8}{15}$ |
$\frac{8}{15}$ |
A can do a work in 15 days and B in 20 days They work on it together for 4 days Total work = Number of days × 1 day's work (Efficiency) ∴ Total work = LCM (15, 20) = 60 unit 1 day's work of A = 60/15 = 4 unit 1 day's work of B = 60/20 = 3 unit 1 day's work of (A + B) together = 4 + 3 = 7 unit Now, They work on it together for 4 days ∴ Total work completed in 4 days = 4 × 7 = 28 unit Work left = 60 - 28 = 32 The fraction of work that is left = 160/300 = 8/15. |
