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?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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)
