A can complete a work in 23 days and B can complete the same work in 23 days. If they work together, in how many days will the work be completed? MCQ with Answer and Explanation
A can do a work in 14 days and B in 21 days. They begin together but 3 days before the completion of the work, A leaves. What is the total number of days taken to complete the work?
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 and B works for x days. 3(x - 3) + 2x = 42 => 3x - 9 + 2x = 42 => 5x = 51 => x = 51/5 = 10(1/5) days.
