Correct Answer: 24 days
Solution : A and B together can complete the work in 12 days. They work for 5 days. So, (12 – 5) = 7 days of work of A + B is left, which is done by A in 14 days. Let, A alone complete the work in $x$ days. According to the question, $\frac{5}{12}+\frac{14}{x} = 1$ $⇒\frac{14}{x} = \frac{7}{12}$ $\therefore x = 24$ Hence, the correct answer is 24 days.
