Question : A and B together can finish a work in 7.2 hours. If B alone can finish the same work in 18 hours, then A alone can do it in:
Option 1: 18 hours
Option 2: 12 hours
Option 3: 10 hours
Option 4: 15 hours
Correct Answer: 12 hours
Solution : Hourly work of A and B = $\frac{1}{7.2}$ Hourly work of B = $\frac{1}{18}$ Hourly work of A = $\frac{1}{7.2}-\frac{1}{18}$ = $\frac{10-4}{72}$ = $\frac{6}{72}$ $\therefore$ A alone can complete the work in $\frac{72}{6}=12$ hours Hence, the correct answer is 12 hours.
