Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 ie 5 days.

Efficiency ratio of A : B = 3 : 7

Work by A in 1 day = 5 units 

Work by B in 1 day = 7 units

Work remaining = (10.5 - 8 ) × 10 = 25 units 

                         = (60/100) × 25 = 15 units 

Time taken by A = 15/3 = 5 days
