Answer : Option C
Explanation :
| Whole work is done by A in |  | 20 x | 5 |  | = 25 days. |
| 4 |
| Now, | | 1 - | 4 | | i.e., | 1 | work is done by A and B in 3 days. |
| 5 | 5 |
Whole work will be done by A and B in (3 x 5) = 15 days.
| A's 1 day's work = | 1 | , (A + B)'s 1 day's work = | 1 | . |
| 25 | 15 |
 B's 1 day's work = | | 1 | - | 1 | | = | 4 | = | 2 | . |
| 15 | 25 | 150 | 75 |
| So, B alone would do the work in | 75 | = 37 | 1 | days. |
