Question 4

A can do a job in 12 days and B in 18 days. They work together for 4 days, after which A leaves. How many more days will B take to finish?

6

Together in 4 days they complete 4(1/12+1/18)=4×5/36=5/9 of the work; remaining 4/9 takes B 4/9×18=8 days — wait, recalculating: 4×(3+2)/36=20/36=5/9 done, remaining=4/9, B finishes in (4/9)×18=8 days.

Question 5
