Correct Answer: 8 days


Solution : Work done by A in 1 day $= \frac{1}{20}$ part of the work
Work done by B in 1 day $= \frac{1}{15}$ part of the work
So, work done by A in 9 days $= \frac{9}{15}$ part of the work
So, Remaining work = ($1-\frac{9}{15})=\frac{6}{15}$ part of the work
$\therefore$ A can do the remaining $\frac{6}{15}$ part in $(\frac{\frac{6}{15}}{\frac{1}{20}})=8$ days
Hence, the correct answer is 8 days.
