Solution
A takes 6 hours to finish work
and B take 9 hours to finish the same work
∴ A's 1 hour's work = `1/6`
and B's 1 hour's work = `1/9`
and B's 2 hours work =`1/9 xx 2= 2/9`
(i) Now A's 1 hours work + B's 2 hours work
`= 1/6 + 2/9 = (3 + 4)/18 = 7/18`
(ii) Work left = `1 - 7/18 = (18 - 7)/18 = 11/18`
