1. Answer:

   x=12

   Step-by-step explanation:

   suppose B alone takes x days to finish the work .then A alone can finish it in (x-6)days

   Now A’s one days wprks +Bs one days work

   =1/x+1/x-6

   and (A+B)one days work =1/4

   x-6=1/4

   x-6+x/x(x-6)=1/4=2x-6/x^2-6x=1/4

   8x-24=x^2=6x

   x^2-14x+24=0

   x^2-122x+24=0

   (x-12)(x-2)=0

   x=12or x=2

   but x cannot be less than 6 so x =12
