  1. Question 1

    Q1. A and B can do a job in 6 and 12 days respectively. They start working together but after 2 days, A leaves. How many more days will B take to finish the job?

    • A) 2
    • B) 3
    • C) 4
    • D) 5

    Answer: 3

    Explanation: A's 1 day work = 1/6, B's 1 day work = 1/12. Together, they do 1/6 + 1/12 = 3/12 = 1/4 of the work in 1 day. In 2 days, they do 1/2 the work. So, 1/2 work is left for B to do.
