Correct Answer: 5 days
Solution : Let the number of days they worked together be $x$ According to the question ⇒ The efficiency of B = $\frac{1}{10}$ ⇒ The efficiency of C = $\frac{1}{30}$ Combined efficiency = $\frac{1}{10}$ + $\frac{1}{30}$ = $\frac{4}{30}$ ⇒ Work done for $x$ days = $\frac{4x}{30}$ Remaining work = 1 – $\frac{4x}{30}$ = $\frac{30 – 4x}{30}$ ⇒ The remaining work to be done by C in 10 days = $\frac{10}{30}$ ⇒ $\frac{30 – 4x}{30}$ = $\frac{10}{30}$ ⇒ 30 – 4$x$ = 10 ⇒ – 4$x$ = 10 – 30 ⇒ $x$ = $\frac{-20}{-4}$ = 5 Hence, the correct answer is 5 days.
