A and B can together finish a work 30 days. They worked together for 20 days and then B left. After another 20 days, A finished the remaining work. In how many days A alone can finish the work?
40
50
54
60
Answer: Option
Explanation:

(A + B)'s 20 day's work = ( 1 x 20 ) = 2 .
30 3

Remaining work = ( 1 - 2 ) = 1 .
3 3

Now, 1 work is done by A in 20 days.
3

Therefore, the whole work will be done by A in (20 x 3) = 60 days.
