Correct Answer: $15$ days


Solution : Let the efficiency of B be $10a$.
So, efficiency of A = $10a \times 140\%=14a$
So, total work = $10a\times 36=360a$
Now, if they both work then time required = $\frac{360a}{14a + 10a} = \frac{360a}{24a}=\frac{360}{24} = 15$ days
Hence, the correct answer is 15 days.
