Solution

A can finish a piece of work in = 15 days
B can finish a piece of work in = 10 days
A's 1 day work =115
B's 1 day work =110
(A + B)'s 1 day work =115+110
=2+330=530=16
(A + B)'s 2 days work =16×2=13
Remaining work which will be done by A alone
=113=313=23
A can finish 1 work in = 15 days
A can finish 23 work in =15×23 days.
=303 days = 10 days.
