Work that has left???
ManifestDreamMBA
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
Bunuel
A can do a work in 15 days and B can do the same work in 20 days. If they work together for 4 days, then the fraction of work that has left is:

(A) \(\frac{1}{4}\)

(B) \(\frac{1}{5}\)

(C) \(\frac{1}{10}\)

(D) \(\frac{7}{15}\)

(E) \(\frac{8}{15}\)
