A can do a work in 15 days and B in 20 days. If they work on it together for 5 days, then the fraction of the work that is left is Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) 8 / 17	B) 7 / 15	C) 3 / 15	D) 5 / 12	E) 1 / 4

Rationale: "person ( a ) ( b ) ( a + b ) time - ( 15 ) ( 20 ) ( - ) rate - ( 20 ) ( 15 ) ( 35 ) work - ( 300 ) ( 300 ) ( 300 ) therefore a + b requires ( 300 / 35 ) days to complete entire work for 1 st 5 days they work 35 * 5 = 175 remaining work is 300 - 175 = 125 remaining fraction of work is = 125 / 300 = 5 / 12 answer d"
Answer: D
