Correct Answer: 15 days


Solution : Given: Shivam is 20 percent less efficient than Vivek.
Vivek can make a helmet in 12 days.
Work done = Time × Efficiency
Per day work of Vivek to make the helmet = $\frac{1}{12}$
Per day work of Shivam to make the helmet = $\frac{100–20}{100}\times\frac{1}{12}=\frac{80}{100}\times\frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{15}$ 
So, Shivam will take 15 days to make the helmet.
Hence, the correct answer is 15 days.
