Solution 1

To solve this problem, we first need to find out how much work each person can do in one day.

  1. Abhi can finish the work in 6 days, so the work done by Abhi in one day is 1/6.
  2. Bhanu can finish the work in 12 days, so the work done by Bhanu in one day is 1/12.

If they work together, we can add up the work they can do in one day.

So, the work done by Abhi and Bhanu together in one day is 1/6 + 1/12 = 1/4.

Therefore, if they work together, they can finish the work in 4 days. So, the answer is 4 days.

Solution 2

To solve this problem, we first need to find out how much work each person can do in one day.

  1. Abhi can do the job in 6 days, so in one day, he can do 1/6 of the work.
  2. Bhanu can do the job in 12 days, so in one day, he can do 1/12 of the work.

When they work together, we can add up the amount of work they can do in one day.

So, (1/6) + (1/12) = 1/4 of the work in one day.

Therefore, if they work together, they can complete the job in 4 days. So, the answer is 4 days.

Solution 3

To solve this problem, we first need to find out how much work each person can do in one day.

  1. Abhi can finish the work in 6 days, so the work done by Abhi in one day is 1/6.
  2. Bhanu can finish the work in 12 days, so the work done by Bhanu in one day is 1/12.

When Abhi and Bhanu work together, their one day's work will be the sum of the work done by each of them in one day.

So, the work done by both in one day = (1/6) + (1/12) = 1/4.

Therefore, if they work together, they can complete the work in 4 days. So, the correct answer is 4 days.

Solution 4

To solve this problem, we first need to find out how much work each person can do in one day.

  1. Abhi can do the job in 6 days, so in one day, he can do 1/6 of the work.
  2. Bhanu can do the job in 12 days, so in one day, he can do 1/12 of the work.

When they work together, we add up the amount of work they can do in one day.

So, (1/6) + (1/12) = 1/4 of the work can be done in one day when they work together.

To find out how many days it would take for them to complete the work together, we take the reciprocal of 1/4, which is 4.

So, it would take 4 days for Abhi and Bhanu to complete the work together.
