Question #2 Report Error
A can complete a piece of work in 14 days and B in 21 days. They begin together but A leaves 3 days before the completion of the work. Find the total number of days taken to complete the work.
A. 11 days
B. 10(1/5) days
C. 9(1/5) days
D. 8(3/5) days

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Total work = LCM(14, 21) = 42 units. Efficiency of A = 3, B = 2. Let total days be x. A works for (x - 3) days, B works for x days. 3(x - 3) + 2x = 42 => 3x - 9 + 2x = 42 => 5x = 51 => x = 51/5 = 10(1/5) days.
