Solution

First, let's find out how much work Ajith and Vijay can do in a day.

Ajith can complete the work in 10 days, so he can do 1/10 of the work in a day. Vijay can complete the work in 15 days, so he can do 1/15 of the work in a day.

When they work together, they can do (1/10 + 1/15) of the work in a day. This simplifies to 1/6 of the work in a day.

They worked together for 6 days, so they completed 6 * (1/6) = 1 piece of work. This means the work is already finished and there is no remaining work for Vijay to complete.

So, the answer is 0 days.
