Correct Answer: 10 days


Solution : Let the time Bhavana takes to complete the work as B.
Since Bhavana is 40% more efficient than Reshma,
she can complete the work in $\frac{100\%}{140\%}$ = $\frac{5}{7}$th of the time that Reshma takes.
⇒ B = $\frac{5}{7} × 14$
⇒ B = $10$
Hence, the correct answer is 10 days.
