    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    B's 10 day's work = 1-sym-oparen-h1 1 x 10 1-sym-cparen-h1 = 2 .
    15 3
    Remaining work = 1-sym-oparen-h1 1 - 2 1-sym-cparen-h1 = 1 .
    3 3
    Now, 1 work is done by A in 1 day.
    18
    Therefore 1 work is done by A in 1-sym-oparen-h1 18 x 1 1-sym-cparen-h1 = 6 days.
    3 3
