Correct Answer: 14 days
Solution : Given, A can make a table in 30 days. B can make a table in 15 days. B worked for 8 days. Work done = Time × Work rate ⇒ Rate of A = $\frac{1}{30}$ table/day ⇒ Rate of B = $\frac{1}{15}$ table/day ⇒ Work done by B = Rate × Time = $\frac{1}{15} ×8 = \frac{8}{15}$ table Remaining work = $1 - \frac{8}{15}=\frac{7}{15}$ table So, the time taken by A to finish the remaining work $=\frac{\text{Work}}{\text{Rate}}=\frac{\frac{7}{15}}{\frac{1}{30}} = 14$ days Hence, the correct answer is 14 days.
