Rahim does \(\frac{7}{{10}}\) of a work in 21 hours. He then calls in Bablu and they together finish the remaining work in 6 hours. How long Bablu alone would take to do the whole work?
Rahim does (7/10) part of a work in = 21 hours
∴ Rahim completes the work in = 21 × (10/7) hours = 30 hours
∴ Part of work Rahim can do in an hour = 1/30
Remaining part of the work = 1 – (7/10) = 3/10
Bablu and Rahim together done 3/10th part of the work in 6 hours
∴ Bablu and Rahim can complete the work = 6 × (10/3) hours = 20 hours
∴ Part of work Bablu and Rahim can do in an hour = 1/20
∴ Part of work Bablu alone can do in an hour
= Part of work Bablu and Rahim can do in an hour – Part of work Rahim can do in an hour
= (1/20) – (1/30)
= 1/60
∴ Bablu alone can complete the work in 60 hours
