Solution

Rate of doing work by A and B is $\frac{1}{A} $ and $\frac{1}{B}$
$\frac{1}{A} $ =$\frac{3}{B}$
In 4 days A would have completed $\frac{4}{A}$ or $\frac{12}{B}$ AMOUNT of work
In 15 days B would have completed $\frac{15}{B}$ amount of work
Since total work done was 75%.
$\frac{12}{B} + \frac{15}{B} = \frac{3}{4}$
$\frac{27}{B} = \frac{3}{4}$
$\frac{1}{B} = \frac{1}{36}$
B alone would TAKE 36 days to COMPLETE the work.
