Correct Answer: 12 days
Solution :
A can complete a work in 18 days.
A's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{18}$
B can complete it in 12 days.
B's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{12}$
B's 4 days' work = $\frac{1}{12}×4=\frac{1}{3}$
Work left = $1-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$
A will finish the remaining work in $\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{18}}=12$ days
Hence, the correct answer is 12 days.
