Correct option is C
Given:
- A can finish the work in 25 days.
- B can finish the work in 20 days.
- They work together for 5 days, then A leaves.
Concept Used:
Work done in 1 day: If a person can complete work in D days, then the work done per day by that person is
-Work done by two people in one day:If two people A and B have individual work rates and , their combined work per day is
-Remaining Work:If part of the work is completed, the remaining work can be found by subtracting the completed work from the total work.
Solution:
- Work rate of A =
- Work rate of B =
Calculate the combined work rate of A and B:
Combined work rate =
The work done by A and B in 5 days:
Work done in 5 days =
Remaining work:
Remaining work = 1 - 0.45 = 0.55
The number of days B will take to finish the remaining work:
Days required by B =
B will finish the remaining work in 11 days.
