Answer : Option D

Explanation :

A's 1 day's work = $\frac { 1 } { 15 };$

B's 1 day's work = $\frac { 1 } { 20 };$

(A + B)'s 1 day's work = $[\frac { 1 } { 15 }+$ $\frac { 1 } { 20 }]$ = $\frac {7} { 60 }$

(A + B)'s 4 day's work = $[ \frac {7} { 60 }*4]$ = $\frac {7} { 15 }$

Therefore, Remaining work =[1- $\frac {7} { 15 }$ ]= $\frac {8 } { 15 }$

why cant we take work done by A in 4 DAYS as 4/15 and work done by B in 4 days as 4/20 and add A'S work and B'S work AND THEN SUBTRACT (4/15+4/20 = 2/5) LEFT OVER WORK =1-2/5=3/5
