Correct Answer: 6


Solution : Given: Sara can finish a work in 18 days and Tara can complete the same work in 15 days. Tara worked for 10 days and left the job.
Sara in 1 day can do $\frac{1}{18}$ part of the work.
Tara in 1 day can do $\frac{1}{15}$ part of the work.
So, work done by Tara in 10 days $=\frac{10}{15}=\frac{2}{3}$ part of the work.
Remaining work $= (1–\frac{2}{3})=\frac{1}{3}$ part.
Therefore, Sara can do the remaining work in $(18×\frac{1}{3})=6$ days.
Hence, the correct answer is 6.
