Correct Answer: 54%


Solution : Let the total work be 50 units (LCM of 25 and 50).
Now, the efficiency of A = $\frac{50}{25}$ = 2
and the efficiency of B = $\frac{50}{50}$ = 1
So, A and B together in 1 day can do (2 + 1) = 3 units of work
$\therefore$ In 9 days they will do (3 × 9) = 27 units of work.
So, the required percentage = $\frac{27}{50}$ × 100 = 54%
Hence, the correct answer is 54%.
