hlo
your answer is here !
Step-by-step explanation:
A's work in 9 days = 9/12 = 3/4. Remaining work = 1/4.
This work was done by B in 1/4 × 16 = 4 days.
∴ B would have joined A after 9 – 4 = 5 days

Lets take total work as 48(LCM of 12 and 16),
So, A does 4 works in 1 day and B does 3 works in 1 day,
Lets take x days is taken by A and 9-x days by A+B to do 48 works,
work done by A will be 4x and work done by A+B will be 7(9-x),
So, 4x + 7(9-x) = 48, x = 5 ans.
