Correct Answer: $\frac{96}{7}$ days


Solution : One day's work of A = $\frac{1}{16}$
One day's work of B = $\frac{1}{96}$
One day's work of A and B together
= $\frac{1}{16}+\frac{1}{96}$
= $\frac{6+1}{96}$
= $\frac{7}{96}$
$\therefore$ Together they can complete the work in $\frac{96}{7}$ days.
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{96}{7}$ days.
