Solution

The correct option is A

15 days


Total number of work days required =10 x 20 = 200

Since 10 men worked for 10 days, 10 x 10 = 100 days work is already done.
So, 200 - 100 = 100 days of work is left.

Once, 10 more men joined, total number of workers=20
So, number of days required more =10020=5

Thus, total number of days = 10 + 5 = 15.
