A and B can do a piece of work in 15 days and 10 days respectively. They started the work together, but A left after 2 days. In how many days will B complete the remaining work?
A. 6 days
B. 6(2/3) days
C. 5 days
D. 7 days
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Total work = LCM(15, 10) = 30 units. Efficiency of A = 2, B = 3. Combined efficiency = 5. In 2 days, work done = 2 * 5 = 10 units. Remaining work = 30 - 10 = 20 units. Time taken by B to complete remaining work = 20 / 3 = 6(2/3) days.
Explanation:
B takes 12 days, so A takes 6 days. Total work = 12 units. Efficiency of A = 2, B = 1. Combined efficiency = 3 units/day. Time taken together = 12 / 3 = 4 days.
