A women can weave a basket in 6 days. But with the help of her daughter, she can complete the work in 4 days. In what time can the daughter alone do the work?

12 days
16 days
8 days
10 days

Correct Answer: 12 days

Explanation:

Women's 1 day's work = 1/6
(Women + Daughter)'s 1 day's work = 1/4
∴ Daughter's 1 day's work = 1/4 - 1/6 = 1/12
So, the daughter can do the work in 12 days.
