    A 36 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 38 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 27 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the total work be 16 units {LCM (16 and 8)}

    Efficiency of Kabir = (16/16) = 1 unit/day

    Efficiency of Kabir and Arjun together = (16/8) = 2 units/day

    Efficiency of Arjun = 2 - 1 = 1 unit/day

    Time required by Arjun to complete the work alone = (16/1) = 16 days
