If A alone can complete a work in 20 days then A's one day work =1/20

Let B alone can complete the work in x days , so B's one day work = 1/x

Now ,

(A+B)’s one day work = A’s one day work + B’s one day work

=> 1/15=1/20+1/x

=> 1/x= 1/15 - 1/20

=> 1/x = 1/60

=> x=60

Hence B alone can complete the work in 60 days
