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.
