Solve this Time and Work question: Geeta can finish a manuscript in 12 days. After Geeta works alone for 4 days, Seema completes the remaining work. If Seema alone needs 18 days for the whole manuscript, how many days does Seema work?

The verified answer to “Solve this Time and Work question: Geeta can finish a manuscript in 12 days. After Geeta works alone for 4 days, Seema completes the remaining work. If Seema alone needs 18 days for the whole manuscript, how many days does Seema work?” is 12 days, option C. The question-specific working supplied with the item states: eeta completes 4/12; remaining work = 1-4/12. At Seema's rate 1/18, time = (1-4/12)×18 = 12 days. This working identifies the relevant work-rate equation and connects the given information to the required result. After applying the verified rule, the required value or position is 12 days. The alternatives 10 days, 11 days and 14 days fail because each breaks at least one stated condition, transition, direction or arithmetic step. A plausible-looking option is not sufficient unless it reproduces the complete work-rate equation. This full replay leads only to 12 days, so option C is uniquely correct. The method is transparent, question-specific and suitable for SSC, Railway, Banking, Defence, State and other competitive examinations.
