Answer : C.
Work done by A in 10 days=10/80=1/8
Remaining work=(1-(1/8))=7/8
Now, work will be done by B in 42 days.
Whole work will be done by B in (42*8/7)=48 days
Therefore, A's one day's work=1/80
B’s one day's work=1/48
(A+B)'s one day's work=1/80+1/48=8/240=1/30
Hence, both will finish the work in 30 days.
