Correct Answer: $7\frac{1}{5}$ days
Solution : Given: Time taken by B = 18 days B's one day work = $\frac{1}{18}$ A's one day work = $1\frac{1}{2}$ of B's = $\frac{3}{2}×\frac{1}{18}$ = $\frac{3}{36}$ = $\frac{1}{12}$ So, (A+B)'s one day work = $\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{18}$ = $\frac{3+2}{36}$ = $\frac{5}{36}$ So, the time taken by A and B together to finish the work = $\frac{36}{5}$ = $7\frac{1}{5}$ Hence, the correct answer is $7\frac{1}{5}$ days.
