Correct Answer: $9\frac{3}{5}$ days
Solution : Time taken by $x$ to complete $\frac{1}{4}$ of a job = 6 days Time taken by $x$ to complete whole work = 6 × 4 = 24 days Part of work done by $x$ in a day = $\frac{1}{24}$ Time taken by $y$ to complete $\frac{3}{4}$ of a job = 12 days Time taken by $y$ to complete whole work = $\frac{12 × 4}{3}$ = 16 days Part of work done by $y$ in a day = $\frac{1}{16}$ Part of work done by $x$ and $y$ in a day = $\frac{1}{24}$ + $\frac{1}{16}$ = $\frac{4 + 6}{96}$ = $\frac{10}{96}$ Time taken by $x$ and $y$ together to complete whole work = $\frac{96}{10}$ = $9\frac{3}{5}$ days Hence, the correct answer is $9\frac{3}{5}$ days.
