Solution

Let efficiency of A = $3x$ units/day

=> Efficiency of B = $\frac{4}{3} \times 3x = 4x$ units/day

Let Work to be done = 8 units

=> Work done by A in 15 days = $15 \times 3x = \frac{5}{8} \times 8$

=> $45x = 5$

=> $x = \frac{5}{45} = \frac{1}{9}$

Thus, B's 1 day work = $4 \times \frac{1}{9} = \frac{4}{9}$ units

Work done by B in 10 days = $\frac{4}{9} \times 10 = \frac{40}{9}$ units

=> Work left = $8 - \frac{40}{9} = \frac{32}{9}$

$\therefore$ Fraction of work left = $\frac{\frac{32}{9}}{8}$

= $\frac{4}{9}$
