Correct Answer: 25 days


Solution : (A + B)'s 1 day's work $= \frac{1}{10}$
C's 1 day's work $= \frac{1}{50}$
⇒ (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work $= \frac{1}{10} +\frac{1}{50}= \frac{6}{50} =\frac{3}{25}$ ............ (1)
A's 1 day's work = (B + C)'s 1 day's work .................. (2)
From (1) and (2) we get,
2 $\times$ (A's 1 day's work) $= \frac{3}{25}$
⇒ A's 1 day's work $= \frac{3}{50}$
⇒ B's 1 day's work $=\frac{1}{10} - \frac{3}{50} =\frac{1}{25}$
So, B can complete the work in 25 days.
Hence, the correct answer is 25 days.
