    C 15 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 18 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    B can do the work in = 30 days Let us suppose C can do the same work in x days. Now, A and B can do the part of work in 1 day is. Therefore, A and B can do the work together in 10 days, but they only did for 6 days. and the part of work done in 6 days is =6/10 th part of work. Now, The Remaining work = 1-10/ 6 =2/5 th part of work. Now, according to question B and C did the remaining work in 8 days Hence, in 1 day work done by B and C together is = 1/20th part of work Therefore, one day work of B and C together is =1/ 30 +1/x But it is given =1/ 20 as B and C does 2/5th part of work in 8 days
