Answer: Option (A)

Solving these two equations, we get : x =[latex]\frac {1}{100}[/latex]and y =[latex]\frac {1}{200}[/latex]. (15 men + 20 boy)'s 1 day's work =[latex]\frac {15}{100}[/latex]+[latex]\frac {20}{200}[/latex] = [latex]\frac {1}{4}[/latex]. 15 men and 20 boys can do the work in 4 days.
