A can do a work in 12 days and B in 24 days. If they work on it together for 4 days, then what fraction of work is left?
1). 1/3
2). 1/2
3). 1/4
4). 1/5
Work done by A in 1 day is 1/12th of the total work
Work done by B in 1 day is 1/24th of the total work
According to the problem statement, work left can be given as
⇒ 1 - 4 × (1/12 + 1/24)
⇒ 1 - ½ = ½
∴ The ½ of the total work will be left
