A carpenter worked only 2 day on something that takes him 6 MORE days.   Means;   Carpenter finishes his work in 8 days.   Let his buddy finish the same task in x days.   Respective rates per day:   2/8 AND 1/x   To complete 1 work:   First guy worked for 6 days @ rate=1/8 per day.   Second one worked for 4 days @ rate=1/x per day   Expression:   Days*Rate=Work   6*2/8+4*1/x=1=3/2+4/x=1   3x+8=2x   x=8   x=8 days.   Ans:8
