Correct Answer: $4 \frac{1}{12}$ days


Solution : Total work = Number of people × Number of hours per day × Number of days $= 7 \times 4 \times 14 = 392$
Let $x$ be the number of days required.
So, $392 = 12\times 8\times x$
$\therefore x = \frac{392}{96} = 4\frac{1}{12}$ days
Hence, the correct answer is $4\frac{1}{12}$ days.
