Correct Answer: $\frac{24}{7}$ days
Solution : One day's work of A = $\frac{1}{6}$ One day's work of B = $\frac{1}{8}$ One day's work of A and B together = $\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{8}$ = $\frac{4+3}{24}$ = $\frac{7}{24}$ $\therefore$ Together they can complete the work in ($1÷\frac{7}{24}$) = $\frac{24}{7}$ days Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{24}{7}$ days.
