Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • A’s one day’s work $ =\frac{1}{30} $ and B’s one day’s work $ =\frac{1}{36} $

$ \therefore $ $ (A+B)’s $ one day’s work $ =\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{36}=\frac{11}{180} $ 25 day’s work of $ B=\frac{25}{36} $

$ \therefore $ Remaining work $ =1-\frac{25}{36}=\frac{11}{36} $ A and B can complete work $ \frac{11}{36} $ in $ \frac{11}{36}\div \frac{11}{180}=5,days $ So, A leaves after 5 days.
