    A 12 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 18 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 20 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A's 1-day work = 1/12 B's 1-day work = 1/18 Together 1-day work = 1/12 + 1/18 = 3/36 + 2/36 = 5/36 Time to complete 5/6 of work: = (5/6) / (5/36) = (5/6) x (36/5) = 6 days Hence, the correct answer is 6 days.
