Q:

A can build a wall in 16 days while B can destroy it in 8 days. A worked for 5 days. Then B joined with A for the next 2 days. Find in how many days could A build the remaining wall ?

A) 12 days B) 14 days
C) 13 days D) 16 days

A's one day work = + 48/16 = + 3

B's one day work = - 48/8 = -6

Given A worked for 5 days to build the wall => 5 days work = 5 x 3 = + 15

2days B joined with A in working = 2(3 - 6) = - 6

Remaining Work of building wall = 48 - (15 - 6) = 39
