Correct Answer: 16 days
Solution : According to the question (A + B)'s 1 day work = $\frac{1}{10}$ A's 1 day work = $\frac{1}{40}$ ⇒ B's 1 day work = $\frac{1}{10}$ – $\frac{1}{40}$ = $\frac{3}{40}$ Now, C's 1 day work = $\frac{1}{2}$ of B's 1 day work = $\frac{3}{80}$ ⇒ (A + C)'s 1 day work = $\frac{1}{40}$ + $\frac{3}{80}$ = $\frac{5}{80}$ ⇒ Time taken by A and C together = $\frac{1}{Rate}$ = $\frac{1}{\frac{5}{80}}$ = $\frac{80}{5}$ = 16 Hence, the correct answer is 16 days.
