Twelve children take sixteen days to complete a work which can be completed by 8 adults in 12 days. After working for 3 days, sixteen adults left and six adults and four children joined them. How many days will it take to complete the remaining work?

A) 3 days

B) 6 days

C) 8 days

D) 9 days

From the given data,

12 children 16 days work,
One child’s one day work = 1/192.

8 adults 12 days work,
One adult’s one day’s work = 1/96.

Work done in 3 days = ((1/96) x 16 x 3) = 1/2

Remaining work = 1 – 1/2 = 1/2

(6 adults+ 4 children)’s 1 day’s work = 6/96 + 4/192 = 1/12

1/12 work is done by them in 1 day.

1/2 work is done by them in 12 x (1/2) = 6 days.
