Option 3 : 16 days
Given:
A completes the work in 20 days
B completes the same work in 15 days
B left the work after 3 days
Formula Used:
Work = Efficiency × Time
Calculation:
Total work of A and B is LCM of 20, 15
⇒ Total work = 60
Efficiency of A = 60/20
⇒ 3
Efficiency of B = 60/15
⇒ 4
They worked together for 3 days then after B left
Remaining Work = 60 – 3(3 + 4)
⇒ 60 – 21
⇒ 39
Remaining work is completed by A, Time taken = 39/3
⇒ 13 days
Total time taken to complete the whole work = 3 + 13 days
⇒ 16 days
∴ The whole work is completed in 16 days
