    A 2 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 4 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    By chain rule,   (3 M + 4 B) × 7/2940 = (5 M + 9B ) × 6/4620    33M+44B=30M+54B   3M=10B   M:B = 10:3    (3 M + 4 B) × 7/2940 = (5 M + 3B ) × T/1180    (3 x 10+ 4 × 3) ×7/2940 = (5 × 10 + 3 × 3) × T/1180    (52) × 7/2940 = (59) × T/1180    So T = 2 days
