capacity of Abdul is thrice the capacity of Rehman.
So, if Abdul finishes the work in x days then Rehman will take 3*x days.

so will will have,
x+10=3*x
2*x=10
x=10/2
x=5.

so Abdul will take 5 days and

Rehman will take 3*5=15 days.

.Let N be the time takes Rehman to do the job
. Abdul is tree times faster, then He will take N/3
. Since Abdul finishes 10 days before, we can write the following equation:
N / 3 = N - 10 , N = 15 days
The solution is 15 days
