A can do a work in 4 days and B in 12 days. If they work on it together for 2 days, then the fraction of the work that will be left is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. .
A can do a work in 4 days and B in 12 days
Total work (LCM of 4 and 12) = 12 units
Efficiency of A = = 3
Efficiency of B = = 1
Total Efficiency = 4
They worked together for 2 days = 4 × 2 = 8
Work left = 12 - 8 = 4
Required fraction of work left = =
