Correct Answer: 30


Solution : Let us assume the total unit of work to be 30, which is the LCM of 15 and 10.
Efficiency of Aarush and Maahi = $\frac{30}{10}$ = 3 units/day
Efficiency of Aarush = $\frac{30}{15}$ = 2 units/day
Efficiency of Maahi = 3 – 2 = 1 unit/day
Now,
Maahi can do the work in = $\frac{\text{Total unit}}{\text{Efficiency}}$ = $\frac{30}{1}$ = 30 days
Hence, the correct answer is 30 days.
