    B 30 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 35 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 45 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total work be = 1 One day work done by Harish and Bimal = 1/20 Work done by Harish and Bimal in 15 days = 1/20 × 15 = 3/4 ⇒ Remaining work = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4 Harish did remaining work in 10 days alone. ⇒ One day work done by Harish = 1/4 ×1/10 = 1/40 ∴ Time taken by Harish to do the entire task alone = 1 ×40 = 40 days
