  1. Step-by-step explanation:

    Smith can complete a task in 12 days

    which means he can compete 1/12 of a work in a day

    similarly Ajit’s work in a day is 1/18

    and together their work

    =1/12 +1/18= (2+3)/36= 5/36

    Now if they work for 4 days

    = 5/36× 4 = 5/9

    therefore task left =1-5/9= 9-5/9= 4/9
