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.
