Nikhil alone can paint a community hall in 24 days. He paints for 8 days and leaves, and Arjun finishes the rest in 10 days. How many days would Arjun take to paint the whole hall alone?

Question

Accepted Answer

15. In 8 days Nikhil does 8/24 = 1/3, leaving 2/3. Arjun does 2/3 in 10 days, so the whole hall takes him 10 × 3/2 = 15 days.
