    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    B's 1 day's work =\( \frac { 1 } { 20 } \)

     

    (A+ B)'s 1 day's work =\( \frac { 1 } {7} \)

     

    I. (A + B)'s 5 day's work =\( \frac { 5 } {7} \)

     

    Remaining work =[1-\( \frac { 5 } {7} \)]=\( \frac { 2 } {7} \)

     

    \( \frac { 2 } {7} \)work was carried by A

     

    II. is irrelevant
