Correct Answer: 37.5 days
Solution : Work done = Time × Efficiency According to the question, Efficiency of X : Y = 100 : 150 = 2 : 3 ⇒ Total work = (2 + 3) × 15 = 75 units ⇒ Time taken by X = $\frac{75}{2}$ = 37.5 days Therefore, X alone will take 37.5 days to complete the wall. Hence, the correct answer is 37.5 days.
