Answer : 3. "1/6"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 1/6 Explanation: Given X can do in 10 days  => 1 day work of X = 1/10   Y can do in 15 days  => 1 day work of Y = 1/15   1day work of (X + Y) = 1/10 + 1/15 = 1/6   Given they are hired for 5 days  => 5 days work of (X + Y) = 5 x 1/6 = 5/6  Therefore, Unfinished work = 1 - 5/6 = 1/6
