A and B together can complete a work in 3 days. They started together but after 2 days, B left the work. If the work is completed after 2 more days, B alone could do the work in how many days?

[SSC 2007]


  • Explanation

    According to the question,

    A+B can complete a work in 3 days.

    In 2 days,

    (A+B) can complete⇒ 2×13=23 of the work

    A alone in complete⇒ 1-23=13of the work

    B alone can complete⇒ 23-13=13of the work

    So in 1 day B can complete  ⇒16 of the work. Therefore, B alone will take 6 days to complete the work.

    Hence option B is correct
