Correct Answer: 12 hours
Solution : Hourly work of A and B = $\frac{1}{7.2}$ Hourly work of B = $\frac{1}{18}$ Hourly work of A = $\frac{1}{7.2}-\frac{1}{18}$ = $\frac{10-4}{72}$ = $\frac{6}{72}$ $\therefore$ A alone can complete the work in $\frac{72}{6}=12$ hours Hence, the correct answer is 12 hours.
