Correct Answer: 5 days
Solution : Given, 25 employees can finish work in 20 days. According to the question, Total work = 25 × 20 = 500 units Let us assume that 10 employees leave after $x$ days. ⇒ Work done in $x$ days = $25x$ Now, (25 – 10) = 15 employees work for (30 – $x$) days. ⇒ Work done in (30 – $x$) days = 15(30 – $x$) According to the question, ⇒ $25x+15(30-x)=500$ ⇒ $25x+450-15x=500$ ⇒ $10x=500-450$ ⇒ $10x=50$ ⇒ $x=5$ days Hence, the correct answer is 5 days.
