A is able to complete a task in 15 days, while B takes 20 days to finish the same task. If they collaborate and work together for 4 days, what fraction of the work will still remain?

A किसी कार्य को 15 दिनों में पूरा कर सकता है, जबकि B उसी कार्य को 20 दिनों में पूरा करता है। यदि दोनों मिलकर 4 दिन कार्य करें, तो कार्य का कितना भाग शेष रहेगा?

Options / विकल्प

A. 14\frac{1}{4}

B. 715\frac{7}{15}

C. 815\frac{8}{15}

D. 1115\frac{11}{15}


Answer / उत्तर

815\frac{8}{15}


Solution / समाधान

Method 1: Using Work Rates

विधि 1: कार्य-दर का उपयोग

A's one-day work:

115\frac{1}{15}

B's one-day work:

120\frac{1}{20}

Together, one-day work:

115+120=4+360=760\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{20} = \frac{4+3}{60} = \frac{7}{60}

Work done in 4 days:

4×760=2860=7154\times\frac{7}{60} = \frac{28}{60} = \frac{7}{15}

Remaining work:

1715=8151-\frac{7}{15} = \frac{8}{15}

Shortcut Trick / शॉर्टकट ट्रिक

Take total work as:

LCM(15,20)=60 units

A's efficiency:

60÷15=4 units/day60 \div 15 = 4 \text{ units/day}

B's efficiency:

60÷20=3 units/day60 \div 20 = 3 \text{ units/day}

Combined efficiency:

4+3=7 units/day4+3=7 \text{ units/day}

Work done in 4 days:

7×4=28 units7\times4=28 \text{ units}

Remaining work:

6028=32 units60-28=32 \text{ units}

Fraction remaining:

3260=815\frac{32}{60} = \frac{8}{15}

Final Answer / अंतिम उत्तर

815\boxed{\frac{8}{15}}

Correct Answer / सही उत्तर: 815\frac{8}{15}
