There are 2 methods of solving this question
Through relative method and through the simple one
Relative method is easier and less time consuming
So , I am going to solve this question in that way.
 
We are given that relative velocity of ball with respect to the elevator is 15 m/s  
We know total time of travel of any object thrown up with velocity u is 2u/g .
 
So time taken by the object is 2*15/10 
(The value of g is taken as 10 for simplicity)
So time taken is 3 seconds
