Option 4 : 30
Given:
A and B can complete a work in 12 days
They work together for 9 days after which B leaves. If A finishes the remaining work in 5 days
Solution:
Since, work done by (A + B) in 12 days = 1
⇒ The work done by (A + B) in 1 day = 1/12
⇒ The work done by (A + B) in 9 days = 9/12 = 3/4 work
⇒ The remaining work = 1/4
According to question,
1/4 work is done by A in 5 days
⇒ Total work done by A alone in 20 days
⇒ The work done by B in one day = 1/12 - 1/20 = 1/30
∴ B can alone finish the work in 30 days
