A and B work together. A alone can complete the work in 30 days and B alone in 36 days. What percentage of the total daily work is contributed by A? MCQ with Answer and Explanation
A and B can complete a piece of work in 12 and 18 days respectively. They begin the work together, but A leaves 4 days before the completion of the work. For how many days did A and B work together?
Explanation:
Total work = LCM(12, 18) = 36 units. Efficiency of A = 3, B = 2. Let total days be x. B works for x days, A works for (x - 4) days. 3(x - 4) + 2x = 36 => 3x - 12 + 2x = 36 => 5x = 48 => x = 9.6 days. A and B worked together for x - 4 = 9.6 - 4 = 5.6 days.
