CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Rekha packs 14\frac{1}{4} per hour; Prakash packs 16\frac{1}{6}.

  2. Together: 14+16=3+212=512\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3+2}{12} = \frac{5}{12}.

Worth noting

110\frac{1}{10} comes from adding the hours (4+6)(4 + 6) instead of the rates. 712\frac{7}{12} is what is left, not what is done.
