Practicing Success
A and B can complete a work in 10 and 12 days respectively. A and B start working together and after 4 days, A left the work. Find in how many days work will be completed. |
6\(\frac{3}{5}\) 3\(\frac{1}{4}\) 3\(\frac{2}{5}\) 7\(\frac{1}{5}\) |
7\(\frac{1}{5}\) |
Total work = Efficiency × Number of days Work done by ( A + B ) in 4 days = 11 × 4 = 44 Remaining work = 60 - 44 = 16 Time taken by B to complete the remaining work = \(\frac{16}{5}\) = 3\(\frac{1}{5}\) Total time taken in doing whole work = 4 + 3\(\frac{1}{5}\) = 7\(\frac{1}{5}\) days |
