    Workspace

    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    Work done =\( \frac { 5 } {8 }\)

    Balance work =[1-\( \frac { 5 } {8 }\)]=\( \frac { 3 } {8 }\)

    Let the required number of days be x.

    Then,\( \frac { 5 } {8 }\):\( \frac { 3 } {8 }\)=:;10:X \( \frac { 5 } {8 }\)x =\( \frac { 3 } {8 }\)*10

     x =[\( \frac { 3 } {8 }\)*10*\( \frac {8 } {5}\)]

     x = 6.
