Ajay and Vijay together paint a hall in 6 days. Ajay alone paints it in 8 days. In how many days can Vijay alone paint the hall?

Show answer

24 days

Ajay and Vijay together paint 1/6 of the hall in 1 day. Ajay paints 1/8 of the hall in 1 day. Vijay's 1 day's work = 1/6 - 1/8 = 4/24 - 3/24 = 1/24. So Vijay alone takes 24 days.

A and B can do a piece of work in 15 days and 20 days respectively. How much work will be left after A works alone for 3 days?

Show answer

4/5 of the work

A's 1 day's work = 1/15. In 3 days, A completes 3 x 1/15 = 1/5 of the work. Work left = 1 - 1/5 = 4/5. So 4/5 of the work is left.
