Correct Answer: 40 days
Solution : Let the number of days be $D$ for 14 boys working 12 hours per day. Use the formula: $M_1D_1H_1= M_2D_2H_2$ Where $M_1$ and $M_2$ are persons, $D_1$ and $D_2$ are days and $H_1, H_2$ are hours per day. ⇒ 42 × 20 × 8 = 14 × D × 12 ⇒ $D$ = 40 Hence, the correct answer is 40 days.
