Answer : Option B
Explanation :
Ratio of times taken by A and B = 1 : 3.
The time difference is (3 - 1) 2 days while B take 3 days and A takes 1 day.
If difference of time is 2 days, B takes 3 days.
| If difference of time is 60 days, B takes |  | 3 | x 60 |  | = 90 days. |
| 2 |
So, A takes 30 days to do the work.
| A's 1 day's work = | 1 |
| 30 |
| B's 1 day's work = | 1 |
| 90 |
| (A + B)'s 1 day's work = | | 1 | + | 1 | | = | 4 | = | 2 |
| 30 | 90 | 90 | 45 |
 A and B together can do the work in | 45 | = 22 | 1 | days. |
