B. 20 days

C. 25 days

D. 35 days

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & \left( {{\text{Anuj}} + {\text{Manoj}}} \right){\text{'s 20 day's work}} \cr & = \left( {\frac{1}{{30}} \times 20} \right) \cr & = \frac{2}{3} \cr & {\text{Remaining work}} \cr & = \left( {1 - \frac{2}{3}} \right) \cr & = \frac{1}{3} \cr & {\text{Manoj's 30 day's work}} = \frac{1}{3} \cr & \therefore {\text{Manoj's 1 day's work}} = \frac{1}{{90}} \cr & {\text{Anuj's 1 day's work}} \cr & = \left( {\frac{1}{{30}} - \frac{1}{{90}}} \right) \cr & {\text{ = }}\frac{2}{{90}} \cr & = \frac{1}{{45}} \cr} $$
If Manoj had gone away after 20 days, then the remaining $$\frac{1}{3}$$ work would have been done by Anuj.
$$\frac{1}{{45}}$$ work is done by Anuj in 1 day
$$\frac{1}{3}$$ work would be done by Anuj in
$$\eqalign{ & = \left( {45 \times \frac{1}{3}} \right) \cr & = {\text{15 days}} \cr} $$
