A and B can do a job together in 7 days. A is 13/4 times as efficient as B. The same job can be done by A alone in :

9 1 days
3

11 days

12 1 days
4

16 1 days
3

Answer: Option
Explanation:

(A's 1 day's work) : (B's 1 day's work) = 7 : 1   =   7 : 4.
4

Let A's and B's 1 day's work be 7x and 4x respectively.

Then, 7x + 4x = 1     =>     11x = 1     =>     x = 1 .
7 7 77

Therefore A's 1 day's work = ( 1 x 7 ) = 1 .
77 11
