    A 5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 6.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    B's efficiency = 130% of A's efficiency = 1.3 * (1/15) = 13/150 A and B's combined daily work = 1/15 + 13/150 = 23/150 They will take 150/23 ≈ 6.5 days to complete the work. Answer: (B)
