If A and B can dig the trench in 12 days, then their combined daily rate of progress is 1/12 of the trench per day.
Similarly, if A can dig the trench in 30 days, then his daily rate of progress is 1/30 of the trench per day.
Therefore, B's daily rate of progress is 1/12 - 1/30, which simplifies to 1/20.
So, it would take B alone 20 days to dig the trench.
