C takes 6 days to complete half of a work and D takes 5 days to complete 1/3rd of the same work. They take turns to complete the task. If C works for the first 4 days, in how many days will D complete the rest of the work without the help of C?

A. 10 days
B. 12 days
C. 8 days
D. 9 days

Part of work completed by C in 1 day = 1/12 Part of work completed by D in 1 day = 1/15 Part of work completed by C in 4 days
= 1/3 Work remaining = 2/3 Time taken by D to complete the work
= (2/3)÷(1/15) = 10 days
