Salil's speed = (1 work/45 days)
Aarav's speed = (1 work/40 days)
Speed*Time= Work
((1/45)+(1/40))*x + (1/40)*23 = 1
X=9
Therefore after 9 days salil leaves.

One day work of Salil and Aarav are 1/45 and 1/40 respectively.
One day work of both together=1/45 + 1/40
=(8+9)/360
=17/360
Let Salil and Aarav work together for x days
Work completed by both in x days=17 X/360
Remaining work=1-17X/360
=(360-17X)/360
This remaining work was completed by Aarav in 23 days.
and one day work of Aarav is 1/40
Work done by Aarav in 23 days=23/40=(360-17X)/360
9*23=360-17X
17X=360-207
17X=153
X=153/17
=9 Days
