Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
Given,
A is 60% more efficient of B Means,
A = B + 60% of B.
A =
8B5

A can complete whole work in 15 days. So,
One day work of A =
115

One day work of
8B5
=
115

One day work of B =
5120
 =
124

One day work, (A + B),
=115+124

One day work, (A + B) =
24+15360
  =
39360

So, Time taken to finish the work by A and B together =
36039
=
12013


Alternatively
We can solve it through percentage method
Given,
A =
8B5

A can complete whole work in 15 days
Work rate of A =
10015
= 6.66% per day
Work rate of
8B5
= 6.66%
Work rate of B = 4.16% per day
Work rate of (A + B) = 6.66 + 4.16 = 10.82% per day
So, A and B can complete 100% work
