use formula ,

total no of days taken by both worker =AB/(A + B)

where A = no of days taken by 1st worker and B = no of days taken by 2nd worker

question ask ,
A = 15 days

so,

5 = 15B/( 15 + B)

75 + 5B = 15B

75 = 10B

B = 75/10 = 15/2 days

hence ,
2nd friend taken 15/2days for complete that work
