Correct Answer: 5 days
Solution : Time taken by A to do the work = 16 days Part of work done by A in a day = $\frac{1}{16}$ Time taken by B to do the work = 12 days Part of work done by B in a day = $\frac{1}{12}$ Part of work done by A and B in 4 days = 4 × ( $\frac{1}{16}$+$\frac{1}{12}$) = 4 × $\frac{3+4}{48}$ = $\frac{7}{12}$ Remaining work = $1-\frac{7}{12}$ = $\frac{5}{12}$ Time taken by B to do the remaining work = $\frac{\frac{5}{12}}{\frac{1}{12}}$ = 5 days Hence, the correct answer is 5 days.
