    Question

    P alone can do a job in 18 days. P and Q working together can do it in 15 days. They started to work together. After 10 days Q left, and P alone has to complete the job. In how many days can P complete the remaining work ?

    A.

    8 days

    B.

    5 days

    C.

    7 days

    D.

    6 days

    Correct option is D


    Let the total work = LCM of 18 and 15 = 90
    Efficiency of P = 90/18 = 5 unit/day
    Efficiency of P + Q = 120/15 = 6 unit/day
    The work done by P and Q in 10 days = 6×10= 60 unit
    Remaining work = 90 – 60 = 30 unit
    Remaining work done by P = 30/ 5= 6 days .
