Amit can complete a work in 25 days and Punit can complete the same work in 20 days. Punit alone worked at it for 10 days and then left the work. In how many days will Amit alone complete the remaining work?
1). \(11\frac{1}{2}\)
2). \(12\frac{1}{2}\)
3). \(13\frac{1}{2}\)
4). \(14\frac{3}{2}\)
Let the number of days required by Amit alone to do remaining work be y day’s
Work done by Amit in 1 day is 1/25th of the total work
work done by Punit in 1 day is 1/20th of the total work
According to the problem statement
⇒ 10 × (1/20) + y × (1/25) = 1
⇒ y = 25/2 = 12½
∴ 12½ days are required by Amit to do remaining work
