A can do a work in 20 days and B can do it in 14 days. If they work together for 7 days, then the fraction of the work left is:
LCM of 20 and 14 is 140 which can be assumed as the total work.
A can do a work in 20 days and B can do it in 14 days.
Efficiency of A =Â $$\frac{140}{20}$$ = 7 units/day
Efficiency of B = $$\frac{140}{14}$$ = 10 units/day
If they work together for 7 days.
Work done by them in 7 days =Â $$\left(7+10\right)\times\ 7$$
=Â $$17\times\ 7$$
= 119
Remaining work = 140-119
= 21
Fraction of the work left =Â $$\frac{21}{140}$$
= $$\frac{3}{20}$$
