The remaining part is 3/4 of the tank.
At 8 hours per full tank, 3/4 takes 6 hours.

Their combined daily rate is 1/10 + 1/15 = 1/6.
Therefore, they complete the job in 6 days.

B's rate is 1/8 - 1/12 = 1/24.
Therefore, B alone needs 24 days.

Worker-days remain constant for the same job.
Thus, 15 × 20 ÷ 12 = 25 workers.

Twice the efficiency means twice the daily work rate.
Therefore, A takes half of 18 days, which is 9 days.
Choose an option to check your answer.
In 5 days, A completes 5/20 = 1/4 of the job.
Therefore, 3/4 remains.
Choose an option to check your answer.
If half the work takes 6 days, the full work takes twice as long.
Thus, the total time is 12 days.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Their combined rate is 1/12 + 1/18 + 1/36 = 1/6.
Therefore, they finish in 6 days.

A composite number has more than two positive factors.
The number 4 has factors 1, 2, and 4.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Let B's rate be 2 units and A's rate be 3 units, total 5 units.
If 5 units finish in 6 days, B alone takes 6 × 5/2 = 15 days.
