Answer:

B. 28 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given statement,

William weeds the whole garden in 45 minutes, then in one minute he will weed 1/45 of the garden

and

similarly, 1/75 of the garden in one minute.

When they both will work together, they will weed (1/45+1/75) of the garden in one minute

Solving the equation:

= \frac{1}{45}+ \frac{1}{75}\\= \frac{75+45}{3375}\\ =\frac{120}{3375}\\ = 0.036

Garden weeded in one minute by both = 0.036

So, number of minutes to weed whole garden = 1/0.036

= 27.77 minutes

Rounding off will give us: 28 minutes

So,

Option B is the correct answer ..
