A can complete a piece of work in 12 days and B in 15 days. They work together for 3 days and then B leaves. In how many days will A complete the remaining work?
Explanation:
Total work = LCM(12, 15) = 60 units. Efficiency of A = 5, B = 4. Combined efficiency = 9 units/day. In 3 days, work completed = 3 * 9 = 27 units. Remaining work = 60 - 27 = 33 units. Time taken by A to complete remaining work = 33 / 5 = 6.6 days.
