Answer : 3. "13 days"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 13 days Explanation: Ratio of times taken by A and B = 100 : 130 = 10 : 13.Suppose B takes x days to do the work. Then, 10 : 13 :: 23 : x => x = ( 23 x 13/10 ) => x = 299 /10. A's 1 day's work = 1/23 ;B's 1 day's work = 10/299 . (A + B)'s 1 day's work = ( 1/23 + 10/299 ) = 23/299 = 113 . Therefore, A and B together can complete the work in 13 days.
