A can do a job in 18 days and B in 36 days. They work together for 11 days, and then A leaves. In how many more days will B finish the job?
A. 7 days
B. 3 days✓ Correct Answer
C. 25 days
D. 14 days
💡 Solution & Explanation
Together they do 1/18 + 1/36 = 1/12 of the job per day, so in 11 days they finish 11/12 of it. The part left is 1/12 of the job. B alone does 1/36 of the job per day, so B needs 1/12 × 36 = 3 more days.
