.
Let x = time it takes for both
then
x(1/10 + 1/15) = 1
x(15 + 10) = 150
x(25) = 150
x = 6 days

Viral -10 days 1 job
so he does 1/10 of the job in 1 day.
..
Raja -15 days - 1 job.
so he does 1/15 of the job in 1 day.
..
together they can do 1/10 + 1/15 of the job in 1 day.
LCM 30
3+2 /30
=5/30
=1/6 job they can do in 1 day.
to complete the job they will take 6 days.
