Answer

Answer: Option E

Solution

Answer: Option E
Solution:
Given,
A is 60% more efficient of B Means,

A can complete whole work in 15 days. So,
One day work of A =
One day work of A = =
One day work of B =  =
One day work, (A + B) =
One day work, (A + B) =   =
So, Time taken to finish the work by A and B together = = days

Alternatively
We can solve it through percentage method
Given,
A =
A can complete whole work in 15 days
Work rate of A = = 6.66% per day
Work rate of = 6.66%
Work rate of B = 4.16% per day
Work rate of (A + B) = 6.66 + 4.16 = 10.82% per day
So, A and B can complete 100% work in days
