Correct Answer: 20 days
Solution : Given, time taken by A and B to complete the work is 15 and 25 days respectively. Efficiency of A = $\frac{1}{15}$ units/ day Efficiency of B = $\frac{1}{25}$ units/ day Work done in 5 days by A and B = $5(\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{25})=\frac{8}{15}$ So, Remaining work = $1-\frac{8}{15}=\frac{7}{15}$ Let the efficiency of C be $x$. According to the question, $\frac{7}{15}=4(\frac{1}{15}+x)$ $⇒4x=\frac{1}{5}$ $⇒x=\frac{1}{20}$ So, C can finish the work in 20 days Hence, the correct answer is 20 days.
