A and B can finish a work 30 days if they work together. They worked together for 20 days and then B left. A finished the remaining work in another 20 days. In how many days A alone can finish the work?

A. 70
B. 50
C. 40
D. 60

Amount of work done by A and B in 1 day = 1/30

Amount of work done by A and B in 20 days = 20 × (1/30) = 20/30 = 2/3

Remaining work – 1 – 2/3 = 1/3

A completes 1/3 work in 20 days

Amount of work A can do in 1 day = (1/3)/20 = 1/60

=> A can complete the work in 60 days
