Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 : 7 days

Given  

Sunita can finish a project in = 21 days

Sarita can finish the same project in = 15 days

Sarita worked on the project for days = 10 days

Formula used 

Work = Time × Efficiency 

Calculation

Sarita’s 10 days work = 1/15 × 10 = 2/3

Remaining work = 1 - (2/3) = 1/3

Sunita can finish a project in = 21 days

Now ,

1/21 Work done by Sunita in = 1 day

1/3 works can be done by Sunita in = 21 × 1/3 = 7 days

∴ Sunita will finish the remaining work in 7 days.
