A can finish a work in 18 days and B can do the same work in 5 days. B worked for 2 days and left the job. In how many days, A alone can finish the remaining work?
Let the amount of work be 90 units (which is LCM of 5 and 18)
It is given that A complete 90 units of work in = 18 days
A's 1 day work = 5 units
Given that B completes 180 units of work in = 5 days
B's 1 day work = 18 units
B worked for 2 days then the amount of work done by him = 18 x 2 = 36 units
Units of work left = 90 - 36 = 54 units
Now time taken by A to complete the remaining work = $$\frac{54}{5}$$ = 10.8 days
