D Correct answer
Explanation

A's rate is 1/10 and B's rate is 1/15. Combined rate is 1/10 + 1/15 = 3/30 + 2/30 = 5/30 = 1/6. Thus, they complete the job in 6 days.

AI explanation

Using the Time and Work formula for working together, A and B will take the product of their individual times divided by the sum of their individual times. This gives (10 multiplied by 15) divided by (10 plus 15), which equals 150 divided by 25. The result is 6 days.
