Correct Answer: 9


Solution : Pratima can complete typing work separately in = 10 hours
Diksha can complete typing work separately in = 15 hours
Let total Work = LCM (10, 15) = 30 units
Efficiency of Pratima = $\frac{30}{10}$ = 3 units
Efficiency of Diksha = $\frac{30}{15}$ = 2 units
Pratima does work in 4 hours = 3$\times{4}$ = 12 units
Remaining work = 30 – 12 = 18 units
$\therefore$ Diksha does remaining work in = $\frac{18}{2}$ = 9 hours.
​​​​​​​Hence, the correct answer is 9.
