    Workspace

    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    A's 1 day's work =115;

     

    B's 1 day's work =120;

     

    (A + B)'s 1 day's work =[115+120]=760

     

    (A + B)'s 4 day's work =[7604]=715

     

    Therefore, Remaining work =[1-715]=815

How do they substract 1-7/15


renuka said : (Jan 21, 2022)

why cant we take work done by A in 4 DAYS as 4/15 and work done by B in 4 days as 4/20 and add A'S work and B'S work AND THEN SUBTRACT (4/15+4/20 = 2/5) LEFT OVER WORK =1-2/5=3/5
