    A 8.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 7.6 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 8.4 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8.6 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let total amount of work be 160 unitsΒ  Efficiency of β€˜A’ = 160/20 = 8 units/day Efficiency of β€˜B’ = 160/32 = 5 units/day Amount of work done by β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ together in 9 days = (8 + 5) Γ— 9 = 117 units Time taken by B to complete remaining work = (160 – 117)/5 = 8.6 days
