A can do a piece of work in 15 days and B in 20 days. They began the work together but A left after 4 days. In how many days will B complete the remaining work?
A. 10(1/3) days
B. 10(2/3) days
C. 9(1/3) days
D. 8 days
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total work = LCM(15, 20) = 60 units. Efficiency of A = 4, B = 3. Combined efficiency = 7. In 4 days, work completed = 4 * 7 = 28 units. Remaining work = 60 - 28 = 32 units. Time taken by B to complete remaining work = 32 / 3 = 10(2/3) days.
