  • Question
  • A and B can complete a work in 15 days and 10 days respectively. They started doing the work together but after 2 days B had to leave and A alone completed the remaining work. The whole work was completed in :


  • Options
  • A. 8 days
  • B. 10 days
  • C. 12 days
  • D. 15 days

  • Correct Answer
  • 12 days 

    Explanation

    (A + B)'s 1 day's work = 1 + 1 = 1 .
    15 10 6

    Work done by A and B in 2 days = 1 x 2 = 1 .
    6 3

    Remaining work = 1 - 1 = 2 .
    3 3

    Now, 1 work is done by A in 1 day.
    15

    2 work will be done by a in 15 x 2 = 10 days.
    3 3

    Hence, the total time taken = (10 + 2) = 12 days.
