Correct Answer: 90 days
Solution : Given: A can do in one day three times the work done by B in one day. They together finish $\frac{2}{5}$th of the work in 9 days. Let the efficiency of B = $a$ units, So, the efficiency of A = 3$a$ units Here, $\frac{2}{5}$th of the work is done by them in 9 days. So, the total work is done by them in (9 × $\frac{5}{2}$) = $\frac{45}{2}$ days We know, Total work = Total efficiency × Number of days = $(a+3a)×\frac{45}{2}$ = 90$a$ units $\therefore$ The required days for B to do the work alone = $\frac{90a}{a}$ = 90 days Hence, the correct answer is 90 days.
