A and B together can do a piece of work in 24 days and A alone can complete the work in 36 days. How long will B alone take to complete the work?
72 days.
12 days.
60 days.
60 days.
Work done by A alone in 1 day = 1/36
Work done by both in 1 day = 1/ 24
Hence work done by B alone in 1 day = 1/24- 1/36 = 1/72
And hence B will complete the work in 72 days.
