|
B.

Answer : Option D
Explanation :
A's 1 day's work =\( \frac { 1 } { 15 };\)
B's 1 day's work =\( \frac { 1 } { 20 };\)
(A + B)'s 1 day's work =\( [\frac { 1 } { 15 }+\)\( \frac { 1 } { 20 }]\)=\( \frac {7} { 60 }\)
(A + B)'s 4 day's work =\([ \frac {7} { 60 }*4]\)=\( \frac {7} { 15 }\)
Therefore, Remaining work =[1-\( \frac {7} { 15 }\)]=\( \frac {8 } { 15 }\)
I am prepare for job
Where from the 7/60 because I don't understand
How do they arrive to 7/60 in the first place
How do they substract 1-7/15
why cant we take work done by A in 4 DAYS as 4/15 and work done by B in 4 days as 4/20 and add A'S work and B'S work AND THEN SUBTRACT (4/15+4/20 = 2/5) LEFT OVER WORK =1-2/5=3/5
