12 men can complete a work in 18 days. Six days after they started working, 4 men joined them. How many days will all of them take to finish the remaining work?

A. 9   
B. 12
C. 10   
D. 15
Answer:     A

Explanation:     

(12 * 18) men can complete the work in 1 day.
1 mans 1 days work = 1/216
12 men’s 6 days work = (1/18)*6 = 1/3
remaining work = 1 - (1/3) = 2/3
16 mens 1 days work = 16/216 = 2/27
2/27 work is done by them in 1 day.
2/3 work is done by them in (27/2)*(2/3) = 9 days.
