(A) 's $1 	ext{ day}$'s work $= \frac{1}{12}$.$B$'s $1 	ext{ day}$'s work $= \frac{1}{18}$.Part of work done by $A$ and $B$ in the first $2 	ext{ days} = \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{18} = \frac{3+2}{36} = \frac{5}{36}$.In $14 	ext{ days}$ ($7$ cycles of $2 	ext{ days}$),the work done $= 7 	imes \frac{5}{36} = \frac{35}{36}$.Remaining work $= 1 - \frac{35}{36} = \frac{1}{36}$.On the $15^{	ext{th}}$ day,$A$ works. Since $A$ completes $\frac{1}{12}$ work in $1 	ext{ day}$,$A$ will complete $\frac{1}{36}$ work in $\frac{1}{36} 	imes 12 = \frac{1}{3} 	ext{ day}$.Total time taken $= 14 + \frac{1}{3} = 14\frac{1}{3} 	ext{ days}$.
