    Answer: 15 days.

    Explanation: When one makes an optimistic estimation duration of a project, they don't take into account the unforeseen circumstances that could take place within the duration of the work. This may delay the work that would ultimately increase the number of days.

    Similarly, when you make a pessimist estimate, you take into account all the delays and breaks and more into account.

    Therefore, when you actually start the work you face these delays and more that ultimately gets you in between the predicted optimistic and pessimistic estimate.
