Verification of answers:
B can do 10 days work in = 10/15.
A can do one day work = 1/18.
So we can verify the options like to became A+B = 1.
Given That,
B left the work after days so.
10/15+ x*1/18 = 1.
By verifying result: x = 6.
B can do 10 days work in = 10/15.
A can do one day work = 1/18.

X/18 +10/15 =1.
X+12 = 18,
X = 18 - 12,
= 6 days.
X+12 = 18,
X = 18 - 12,
= 6 days.
