P can do a work in 10 days and Q can do the same work in 15 days. If they work on it together for 3 days, then the fraction of the work that is left is: |
$\frac{1}{3}$ $\frac{2}{3}$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{4}{3}$ |
$\frac{1}{2}$ |
P = 10 days, Q = 15 days, ⇒ P + Q worked for 3 days = (3 + 2) x 3 = 5 x 3 = 15 units, ..(Efficiency × Days = Total work) ⇒ Remaining work = 30 - 15 = 15 units, ⇒ Fraction of work left = \(\frac{15}{30}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) |
