Correct Answer: $52 \frac{1}{2}$ days
Solution : Given: A and B together can complete a piece of work in 15 days and B alone can complete it in 21 days. A and B together in 1 day can complete $\frac{1}{15}$ part of the work. B alone in 1 day can complete $\frac{1}{21}$ part of the work. So, A alone in 1 day can complete $(\frac{1}{15}–\frac{1}{21})=\frac{2}{105}$ part of the work. Therefore, A alone can complete the work in $(1÷\frac{2}{105})=\frac{105}{2}=52\frac{1}{2}$ days. Hence, the correct answer is $52\frac{1}{2}$ days.
