A's efficiency is twice that of B's. A can work only for 8 hours a day while B can work for 12 hours a day. If A can finish a work in 12 days, in how many days can B finish the same work?

A.

8

10

C.

16

D.

12

Correct option is C

Given:

A is twice efficient than B.

A can work only for 8 hours a day while B can work for 12 hours a day

Formula used:

Men × Day = Total work

Solution:

Let the time taken by B to complete work be b.

=> b = 192/12 

=> b = 16
