Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e.  6236\frac 2 3.

Given that

A can do apiece of work in 12 days

B can do the same work in 15 days

Total works = LCM (12, 15) =60

The efficiency of A = 60 /12 = 5

The efficiency of B = 60 /15 = 4

Hence, the work is completed by A and B together in = 60/(4 + 3) = 60/7 =  6236\frac 2 3 days
