Correct Answer: 60 days
Solution : Given: A and B together can do a piece of work in 24 days. A alone can do this work in 40 days. A alone in 1 day can do $\frac{1}{40}$ part of the work. A and B together in 1 day can do $\frac{1}{24}$ part of the work. So, B alone in 1 day can do $(\frac{1}{24}-\frac{1}{40})=\frac{2}{120}=\frac{1}{60}$ part of the work. Thus, B alone can complete the work in $(1÷\frac{1}{60})=60$ days. Hence, the correct answer is 60 days.
