Find the distance betwee

Answer»

Let B takes x days to do work.Then A takes x-6 days to do work

Now,A's one day work = 1/(x - 6)B's one day work = 1/x

(A + B)'s one day work = 1/4

B's one day work1/4 - 1/x-6 = 1/x1/4 = 1/x +1/x-6x(x-6) = 4(2x - 6)x^2 - 6x = 8x - 24x^2 - 14x + 24x = 0x^2 - 12x - 2x + 24 = 0x(x - 12) - 2(x - 12) = 0(x - 2)(x - 12) = 0

2 value not possible

Therefore for x = 12, B alone will complete work in 12 days
