A can finish a work in 18 days and B in 36 days. If they work on it together for 9 days, then what percent of work is left?
1). 33.3
2). 20
3). 75
4). 25
Work done by A in 1 day = 1/18th of total work
Work done by B in 1 day = 1/36th of total work
If the work together for 9 days, % of work left by them can be written as
⇒ [1 - 9 × {(1/18) + 1/36}] × 100
⇒ (1 - 1/2 - 1/4) × 100 = 100/4 = 25%
∴ The percentage of work left by them is 25%
