    Question

    C.

    D.

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Sara can finish the work in 18 days.
    Tara can finish the work in 15 days.
    Tara worked for 10 days and then left.
    Formula Used:
    Work done by a person in 1 day = 1 / (number of days required to complete the work)
    Total work done = Work rate × Time
    Solution:
    Calculate the work done by Tara in 10 days:
    Work rate of Tara = 1 / 15
    Work done by Tara in 10 days = (1 / 15) × 10 = 10 / 15 = 2 / 3
    Calculate the remaining work:
    Total work = 1
    Remaining work = 1 - (2 / 3) = 1 / 3
    Calculate the time taken by Sara to complete the remaining work:
    Work rate of Sara = 1 / 18
    Time taken by Sara to complete the remaining work = (Remaining work) / (Work rate of Sara)
    Time = (1 / 3) / (1 / 18) = (1 / 3) × 18 = 6 days
    Answer: 6
