A. 24

B. 20

C. 12

D. 25

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\frac{{250}}{{100}}A \to 15{\text{ days}}$$
A → 60 days. (Whole work)
Let A do 60 work in 60 days.
A do 15 day work, remaining work completed by A in 45 days. But B do in 30 days.
∴ 45A = 30B
$$\frac{{\text{A}}}{{\text{B}}} = \frac{2}{3}\,\,\,\left( {{\text{efficiency}}} \right)$$
A + B = 5
Total work = A × 60 = 2 × 60 = 120
50% of 120 = 60
A + B = $$\frac{{60}}{5}$$ = 12
