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.

A + B = 1/30 its entire work But
A + B work together only for 20 days so...
A + B - A
1/30 - 1/20
LCM is 60.

So, 2 - 3 ÷60.
1/60 = 60 Days.

Pushpas work 1/10.
Komals work. 1/20 Per day.

So, they work for 5 days.

Their total work should be calculated by 1/10 + 1/20 then -1/5 you'll get the Answer.
Hope it's correct.
