    Question

    A and B can complete a piece of work in 12 days and 16

    days respectively. They work together for 4 days, and then A leaves. How many more days will B take to finish the remaining work?
    A 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 6.67 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Work done by A and B together in 1 day = 1/12 + 1/16 = (4 + 3)/48 = 7/48. Work done in 4 days = 4 × (7/48) = 28/48 = 7/12. Remaining work = 1 - 7/12 = 5/12. B completes 1/16 work per day. Time taken by B = (5/12) ÷ (1/16) = (5/12) × 16  = 80/12 = 6.67 days. Correct Option: b
