Correct Answer: 40 days
Solution : Let's suppose, A and C together can complete the work in $n$ days. So, B takes = $3n$ days According to the question, $\frac{3n\times n}{3n + n} = 10$ ⇒ $\frac{3n}{4} = 10$ ⇒ $3n = 40$ $\therefore$ B alone can complete a work in 40 days. Hence, the correct answer is 40 days.
