A completes 720\frac{7}{20} of a work in 10 days. Then he completes the remaining work with the help of B in 5 days. The time required for A and B together to complete the entire work is:

Solution

Correct Option: 2

Remaining work after A's part = 17/20=13/201 - 7/20 = 13/20. A and B together complete 13/2013/20 of the work in 5 days. So their combined one-day work = (13/20)/5=13/100(13/20)/5 = 13/100. Time for full work together = 100/13100/13 days.
