Correct Answer: $\frac{40}{9}$
Solution : Given: A can do a piece of work in 8 days and B can do it in 10 days separately. So, in 1 day A and B alone can do $\frac{1}{8}$ part and $\frac{1}{10}$ part of the work, respectively. Now, together in 1 day they can do ($\frac{1}{8}$ + $\frac{1}{10}$) = $\frac{5 + 4}{40}$ = $\frac{9}{40}$ part of the work. Therefore, A and B together can finish the work in (1 ÷ $\frac{9}{40}$) = $\frac{40}{9}$ days. Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{40}{9}$.
