Correct Answer: 24 days


Solution : Raju and Ramu together can do a piece of work in 8 days.
Their 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{8}$
Raju alone can do it in 12 days.
Raju's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{12}$
So, Ramu's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{24}$
$\therefore$ Ramu can complete the work alone in 24 days.
Hence, the correct answer is 24 days.
