1. Answer:

   Let Deepak complete a work in x day.

   Santosh work be (x+3) days

   therefore, work done by deepak in one day will be 1/x and work done by santosh be 1/x+3.

   Work done by both of them in 2 days = 1/2

   A.T.Q

   1/x + 1/x+3 = 1/2

   therefore by this we will get x=3 or x= -2

   but the number of days is not negative

   so we will take

   x =3 and x+3 = 3+3=6

   therefore deepak completes the work in 3 days and santosh in 6 days .
