[Q] A can do a work
in 15 days and B in 20 days. If they work on it together for 4 days, Find the fraction of the work that is left
(a) 15/8
(b) 8/15
(c) 17/8
(d) 8/17
(a) 15/8
(b) 8/15
(c) 17/8
(d) 8/17
Solution
Answer
(b)
Explanation
----
Amount of work A can do in 1 day = 1/15
Amount of work B can do in 1 day = 1/20
Amount of work A and B can do in 1 day = 1/15 + 1/20 = 7/60
Amount of work A and B can together do in 4 days = 4 × (7/60) = 7/15
Fraction of work left = 1 – 7/15= 8/15
Explanation
----
Amount of work A can do in 1 day = 1/15
Amount of work B can do in 1 day = 1/20
Amount of work A and B can do in 1 day = 1/15 + 1/20 = 7/60
Amount of work A and B can together do in 4 days = 4 × (7/60) = 7/15
Fraction of work left = 1 – 7/15= 8/15
