Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 8 Given: A and B alone can complete work in 9 days and 18 days respectively. Calculations: Let the work be completed in x days. According to the question, A worked for (x –3) days, while B worked for x days. so (x - 3)/9 + x/18 = 1 ⇒ (2x - 6 + x)/18 = 1 ⇒ 3x - 6 = 18 ⇒ 3x = 24 ⇒ x = 8 ∴ the correct answer is 8 days. |
