Correct Answer: $8 \frac{1}{3}$ days
Solution : Rate of A $= \frac{1}{25}$ Rate of B $=\frac{1}{15}$ Combined rate of A and B $=\frac{1}{25}+\frac{1}{15}$ According to the question, B worked for 10 days. The amount of work completed by B $ =10×\frac{1}{15}=\frac{2}{3}$ of the total work ⇒ Remaining work $=1-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{3}$ A alone can finish the remaining work at the rate of $\frac{1}{25}$ of the total work per day. $\therefore$ A will finish the remaining work in $\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{25}{3}}=\frac{25}{3}=8\frac{1}{3}$ days Hence, the correct answer is $8\frac{1}{3}$ days.
