Arshi can do a piece of work in 30 days, while Ahan can complete it in 20 days. Both together work for 4 days and afterward Ahan leaves. How long will Arshi take to complete the remaining work?
Let's assume the total work is 60 units.
Arshi can do a piece of work in 30 days.
Efficiency of Arshi = $$\frac{60}{30}$$ = 2 units/day
Ahan can complete it in 20 days.
Efficiency of Ahan = $$\frac{60}{20}$$ = 3 units/day
Both together work for 4 days and afterward Ahan leaves. So let's assume the time taken by Arshi to complete the remaining work is 'y' days.
4$$\times$$(Efficiency of Arshi and Ahan) + y $$\times$$(Efficiency of Arshi) = 60
$$4\times(2+3) + y \times2 = 60$$
$$4\times5 + 2y = 60$$
20Â + 2y = 60
2y = 60 - 20
2y = 40
y = 20
So the time taken by Arshi to complete the remaining work is 20 days.
