CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. All three: 4+3+2120=9120=340\frac{4 + 3 + 2}{120} = \frac{9}{120} = \frac{3}{40} per day.

  2. In 4 days: 1240=310\frac{12}{40} = \frac{3}{10} done, so 710\frac{7}{10} remains.

  3. Salim + Tanya: 4+3120=7120\frac{4+3}{120} = \frac{7}{120} per day.

  4. Time: 710÷7120=12\frac{7}{10} \div \frac{7}{120} = 12 days.

Worth noting

16 days is the total from the start; the question asks for the days after Uday leaves.
