B Correct answer
Explanation

A's rate = 1/10 work/day, B's rate = 1/20 work/day. Combined rate = 3/20 work/day. If A leaves 2 days before completion, they worked together for (total-2) days. Work done together = (3/20)(total-2). Remaining work = 1 - (3/20)(total-2) = (20 - 3total + 6)/20. B alone does 1/20 per day, so B's days = 20 - 3total + 6. Also total work = (3/20)(total-2) + (1/20)×2 = 1. Solving: total = 10 days. B works alone for 2 days = 8 days.
