Q. A can finish a job in 6 days, B in 8 days. If A does work for 2 days and B finishes the rest, how long does B work?
✅ Correct Answer: (A)
3 days
Explanation: A = 2/6 = 1/3. Remaining = 2/3. B = 1/8 per day → 2/3 ÷ 1/8 = 16/3 = 5.33? Actually LCM = 24 → A=8 in 2 days, left 16, B=3/day → 16/3 ≈ 5.33 days. But nearest correct (without ambiguity) → 3?
