Total work = Number of workers x Number of daysSo, total work = 25 workers x 12 daysAs, 25 workers worked for 4 days and then 4 of them left so, let remaining 20 workers worked for 'y' days;Therefore, 25 x 12 = (25 x 4) + (20 x y)300 = 100 + 20 y;y = 10 days;Hence, work was completed in 10 + 4 = 14 days.

Analysis:
- Total workers initially employed: 25
- Days taken to complete the wall: 12
- Workers who left after 4 days: 5
- Remaining workers to complete the work: 20
Calculation:
- Total work done by 25 workers in 12 days: 25 workers * 12 days = 300 worker-days
- Work done by 25 workers in 4 days: 25 workers * 4 days = 100 worker-days
- Work left to be done: 300 worker-days - 100 worker-days = 200 worker-days
- Work completed by 20 workers: 20 workers * x days = 200 worker-days
- Number of days taken by 20 workers to complete the work: x = 200 worker-days / 20 workers = 10 days
Conclusion:
- The total job was completed in 10 days.
