A आणि B अनुक्रमे 12 दिवस आणि 18 दिवसांत एक काम पूर्ण करू शकतात. जर त्यांनी 6 दिवस एकत्र काम केले, तर किती काम शिल्लक राहील?

Calculate LCM of (12, 18) = 36 units. A's efficiency = 3, B's efficiency = 2. Combined = 5. In 6 days, they finish 5 × 6 = 30 units. Left = 36 - 30 = 6 units. Fraction left = 6/36 = 1/6.
Time taken by A = 12 days, Time taken by B = 18 days, Duration worked together = 6 days.
Work=TotaltimeTimeworked
Calculate LCM of (12, 18) = 36 units. A's efficiency = 3, B's efficiency = 2. Combined = 5. In 6 days, they finish 5 × 6 = 30 units. Left = 36 - 30 = 6 units. Fraction left = 6/36 = 1/6.
Many students calculate the work done (30/36 = 5/6) and mark it as the answer, forgetting the question asks for the work 'left to be done'.
Calculate Total Work
Assuming total work is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 12 and 18, which is 36 units.
Total Work=36units
Determine Individual Efficiencies
Efficiency is Work/Time. A's efficiency = 36/12 = 3 units/day. B's efficiency = 36/18 = 2 units/day.
(A+B)eff=3+2=5units/day
Calculate Work Completed
In 6 days of working together, total work completed is 6 days multiplied by combined efficiency.
Workdone=5×6=30units
Calculate Remaining Work
Subtract the completed work from total units and find the fraction of the job left.
Workleft=3636−30=366=61
D is correct because 30 out of 36 units of work were completed, leaving 6 units, which is 1/6 of the total job.
This LCM efficiency technique is identical to calculating the combined pipe fill rate in Pipe and Cistern problems.
