Time required to do the work when both work together = 15*20/(15+20) = 60/7
They complete the 1 unit of work in 60/7 days
They complete in 4 days = 4*1/(60/7) = 7/15
Work left = 1-7/15 = 8/15
They complete the 1 unit of work in 60/7 days
They complete in 4 days = 4*1/(60/7) = 7/15
Work left = 1-7/15 = 8/15

So we know that W/MT = Constant
A's 1 day work = 1/15
B's 1 day work = 1/20
1 day work of both = (1/15)+(1/20) =7/60
4 day's work = 4*(7/60) = 7/15
Remaining work = 1-(7/15) =8/15
