Solution

The correct option is A

21 days


(A+B)'s 1-day work = 115
(A+B)'s 6-day work = 615
Remaining work = 1 - 615 = 915 = 35
A takes 30 day to complete remaining work
A's 1-day work = 3530 = 150
So, A takes 50 days to complete full work alone.
B's 1-day work = 115 - 150 = 7150
B takes 1507 or 21.4 or 21 days (approx)
