उत्तर
LCM of 45 and 40 is 360. So let the work be of eating 360 chocolates. A finishes work in 40 days and B in 45, so A eats chocolates per day and B eats 8 chocolates per day. Together they work for 10 days and eat 17 chocolates each day.
Total chocolates eaten in 10 days = 170
Number of chocolates left = 360 − 170 = 190
A will eat 190 chocolates in ⇒ `190/9` = 21.1 days.
