Clerk A will complete \(\frac{1}{5}\) in work in 1 hour and Clerk B will complete \(\frac{1}{4}\) in 1 hour.
To gather in one hour they will complete \(\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{20}\) of the work.
For 5 days worth of work or 5 times the work, they will take \( 5 * 20/9 = 100/9 = 11 \frac{1}{9}\) hours.
