    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    (A's 1 day's work) : (B's 1 day's work) = 7 : 1   =   7 : 4.
    4

    Let A's and B's 1 day's work be 7x and 4x respectively.

    Then, 7x + 4x = 1     =>     11x = 1     =>     x = 1 .
    7 7 77
    Therefore A's 1 day's work = 1-sym-oparen-h1 1 x 7 1-sym-cparen-h1 = 1 .
    77 11
