Correct Answer: $\frac{18}{5}$
Solution : Given: Riya alone can complete a piece of work in 6 days while Siya alone can do the same work in 9 days. Let the total work = LCM of 6 and 9 = 54 units So, the efficiency of Riya = $\frac{54}{6}$ = 9, and the efficiency of Siya = $\frac{54}{9}$ = 6 Total efficiency = (9 + 6) = 15 So, together they will finish the work in $\frac{54}{15}$ = $\frac{18}{5}$ days Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{18}{5}$.
