    D 7 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A can finish a work=20days. B can complete the same work=15days. LCM of 20 and 15 =60 Let the total work =60 units Efficiency of A =60/20=3 units Efficiency of B =60/15=4 units B worked for 9 days =4×9=36units. Remaining work =60-36 =24. Remaining work done by A =24/3=8days.
