A and B can complete a work in 15 days and 20 days respectively. If they work together for 5 days, h

A. 1/3

B. 1/4

C. 1/5

D. 1/6

E. None of the above

Answer: A. 1/3

In 5 days, A and B together complete 5*(1/15 + 1/20) = 5*(7/60) = 7/12 of the work. Therefore, 1 - 7/12 = 5/12 of the work is left.
