  1. Answer:

    Time taken by one boy to complete the work=16days

    Time taken by one girl to complete the work=48days

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2+6=1

    x y 4

    2u+6v=1/4 (i)

    1+5=1

    x y 6

    2+10=1

    x y 3

    2u+10v=1/3 (ii)

    on subtracting (i) from (ii), we get:

    4v=1/12

    v=1/48

    or y=48

    Putting the value of y in (i), we get:

    x=16
