Correct Answer: $\frac{80}{9}$
Solution : Time taken by A alone to do the work = 15 Work done by A alone in a day = $\frac{1}{15}$ Work done by A in the first and last two days = $\frac{4}{15}$ Work done by B in 16 days = 1 – $\frac{4}{15}$ = $\frac{11}{15}$ Work done by B alone in a day = $\frac{11}{15×16}$ = $\frac{11}{240}$ Work done by A and B together in a day = $\frac{1}{15}$+$\frac{11}{240}$ = $\frac{27}{240}$ = $\frac{9}{80}$ $\therefore$ Time taken by A and B together to do the work = $\frac{80}{9}$ days Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{80}{9}$.
