A can do a job in 18 days and B in 36 days. They work together for 2 days, and then A leaves. In how many more days will B finish the job?

A. 32 days
B. 16 days
C. 34 days
D. 30 days✓ Correct Answer

💡 Solution & Explanation

Together they do 1/18 + 1/36 = 1/12 of the job per day, so in 2 days they finish 1/6 of it. The part left is 5/6 of the job. B alone does 1/36 of the job per day, so B needs 5/6 × 36 = 30 more days.
