Amir and Akbar can finish a task in 30 days and 15 days, respectively. Akbar worked on the task for 8 days and left the job. In how many days can Amir alone finish the remaining work?

14 days

Amir = 30 days, Akbar = 15 days,

⇒ Akbar worked for 8 days and left = 2 x 8 = 16 units,

⇒ Remaining work = 30 - 16 = 14 units,

⇒ Time required by Amir to complete the remaining work = \(\frac{14}{1}\) = 14 days,  ..(\(\frac{Work}{Efficiency}\) = Time)
