Three painters have to spend 6 hours a day for 12 days to finish a work. If after 3 days one painter leaves, in how many days the remaining work will be completed?
Total $$12×6=72 hours$$ work.
In 3 days they will work for$$6×3=18$$hours.
3 people work in a day for 6 hours.
3 people work in 12 days for 72 hours.
1 man will work in a day for 2 hours.
then, 2 man will work in a day for 4 hours.
work left of $$72-18=54$$ hours.
2 man work for 4 hours in a day.
or, 2 man work for 1 hour in $$(1/4)$$ day.
or,2 man work for 54 hour in
$$54/4=27/2$$ days.
So, Option B is correct.
