A and B together can complete a job in 8 days. If A alone can do it in 16 days, how many days will B alone take?

  1. 16 days

  2. 10 days

  3. 12 days

  4. 14 days

Answer: A

Solution

Combined work rate = 1/8 per day and A's work rate = 1/16 per day. B's rate = 1/8 - 1/16 = 1/16. Therefore, B alone takes 16 days.
