Kavita and Anu tile a floor in Bhopal. Anu alone takes 6 days more than Kavita alone, and together they finish in 4 days. How many days would Anu take alone?

Question

Accepted Answer

12 days. 1x + 1x + 6 = 14 4(2x + 6) = x(x + 6) x^2 - 2x - 24 = 0 (x - 6)(x + 4) = 0 . Reject x = -4 ; Kavita takes 6 days, so Anu takes 6 + 6 = 12 days.
