    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    A's 1 day's work = 1 ;
    15
    B's 1 day's work = 1 ;
    20
    (A + B)'s 1 day's work = 1-sym-oparen-h1 1 + 1 1-sym-cparen-h1 = 7 .
    15 20 60
    (A + B)'s 4 day's work = 1-sym-oparen-h1 7 x 4 1-sym-cparen-h1 = 7 .
    60 15
    Therefore, Remaining work = 1-sym-oparen-h1 1 - 7 1-sym-cparen-h1 = 8 .
    15 15
