Another 10 days.
.
Per day A does 1/10 of the wall and B 1/15 of the wall.
After the 2nd day 2*1/10 + 2*1/15 = 5/15 of the wall has been completed.
B needs another 10 days to finish the wall.

One Day work of both (A+B)=1/10+1/15
=5/30
=1/6
Two Days work of (A+B)=2/6
=1/3
Reamaining work=2/3
Time taken by B to complete the remaining work-2*15/3
=10 Days
