Topic: Time and Work

A can do 1/2 of a certain work in 12 days, B and A together complete the remaining work in 4 days. Then the time taken to complete the whole work by B alone is:a)10 days	b)15 days	c)12 days	d)20 days

Since half of the work is done by A in 12 days,the whole work can be done by A in 2(12)days = 24 days.So, A's one day work = 1/24Now, the remaining half of the work is done by A and B together in 4 daysThen, the whole work is done by A and B together in 8 daysso, (A+B)'s one day work = 1/8B' one day work = (A+B)'s one day work - A's one day work= 1/8 - 1/24 = 2/24 = 1/12Therefore B alone can complete the work in 12 days
