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?
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.

Hey @ankush
The question here is that in how many days A alone can do the entire work..
So its very simple 1/3 work done in 20 days, 2/3 work in 20*2=40 days and 3/3 (i.e. 1)= 20*3=60 days.
