Solution

The correct option is A 78
Number of days worked in company A = 58

Number of days worked in company B = 832

Total number of days worked = (58+832)

Now, first we need to convert the given fractions to like fractions so that both of them have the same denominator.

Since, 8 × 4 = 32, we will multiply the numerator and denominator of 58 by 4.

58=5×48×4=2032

Now, 58+832=2032+832

=20+832 (adding like fractions)

=2832

=78

Thus, Shyam has worked for 78 days in total.
