Question:

Aadish can complete a work in 14 days. If he worked for 8 days, then what fraction of the work would be left?

Options:

$\frac{2}{7}$

$\frac{3}{7}$

$\frac{4}{7}$

$\frac{1}{7}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{3}{7}$

Explanation:

Aadish = 14 days,

Take Aadish's efficiency as 1.

Therefore, Total work = 1 x 14 = 14 units,

⇒ He worked for 8 days = 1 x 8 = 8 units,

⇒ Fraction of work left = \(\frac{14-8}{14}\) = \(\frac{6}{14}\) = \(\frac{3}{7}\)
