Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 25 Given: A can finish a task in 45 days B can finish the same task in 30 days (A + B) work together for 3 days. Concept used: If a person does work in 'n' days, then one day work will be (1/n) part of the total work. Calculation: A's one day work = 1/45 part of the total work B's one day work = 1/30 part of the total work Worked by both for one day's work = (1/45) + (1/30) ⇒ (2 + 3)/90 ⇒ 5/90 ⇒ 1/18 part of the total work. Now Worked by them for 3 days = (1/18) × 3 ⇒ 1/6 part of the total work Now remaining work = 1 - (1/6) ⇒ (6 - 1)/6 ⇒ 5/6 part of the total work But B completes a work = 30 days The remaining work (5/6) part will be completed by B = (30) × (5/6) ⇒ 5 × 5 ⇒ 25 days. ∴ The remaining work, B will finish in 25 days. |
