Consider the expression provided
george 1 day work=1/15
let pau 1 day work be 1/x
work to be done=1-3/5=2/5
then,a/c
4(1/15+1/x)=2/5
=>x=30
i.e:- 3)30
-------------------------------------
3.30 days
gorge: does 3/5 th in 9 days
in 1 day he can do 1/15
so in 4 days he can do =4/15
:. total work done by gorge =3/5+4/15=13/15
work left= 1-13/15=2/15
which is done by paul in 4 days so paul can do 2/15*4 in 1 day=1/30
:. paul will take 30 days to do the job himself
