Answer : 3. "1/6"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 1/6 Explanation: Given X can do in 10 days => 1 day work of X = 1/10 Y can do in 15 days => 1 day work of Y = 1/15 1day work of (X + Y) = 1/10 + 1/15 = 1/6 Given they are hired for 5 days => 5 days work of (X + Y) = 5 x 1/6 = 5/6 Therefore, Unfinished work = 1 - 5/6 = 1/6
