Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e.  1930\frac{19}{30}

Efficiency = TotalworkTimetaken\dfrac{Total work}{Time taken}

Total work = LCM of 25 & 30 = 150

A's efficiency = 15025\dfrac{150}{25}= 6 units/day

B's efficiency = 15030\dfrac{150}{30}= 5 units/day

Total efficiency = 6 + 5 = 11 units/day

Total work done in 5 days = 11 × 5 = 55 units

Remaining work = 150 - 55 = 95 units

So the fraction of the work left = 95150\dfrac{95}{150}= 1930\dfrac{19}{30}
