A and B together can complete a work in 3 days.

A and B together can complete a work in 3 days. They start together but after 2 days, B left the work. If the work is completed after two more days, B alone could do the work in
A5 days
B6 days
C9 days
D10 days

Answer is : 6 days

Explanation:

(A+B)'s one day's work \(= \frac{1}{3}\) part
(A+B) works 2 days together \(= \frac{2}{3}\) part;
Remaining work \(= 1-\frac{2}{3} \implies \frac{1}{3} \)part;
1/3 part of work is completed by A in two days;
Hence, one day's work of A = \(\frac{1}{6}\);
Then, one day's work of B\( = \frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{6}\implies \frac{1}{6}\);
So, B alone can complete the whole work in 6 days.
