A and B can complete a work in 24 days and 36 days respectively. If they work together for 8 days, h

A. 1/4

B. 1/3

C. 1/2

D. 1/6

E. None of the above

Answer: B. 1/3

In 8 days, A and B together complete 8*(1/24 + 1/36) = 8*(5/72) = 40/72 = 5/9 of the work. Therefore, 1 - 5/9 = 4/9 of the work is left.
