1/18 WORK DONE IN 1 DAY.
1/3 WORK DONE IN X DAY.
X*1/18 = 1/3,
X = 18/3 = 6.
1/3 WORK DONE IN X DAY.
X*1/18 = 1/3,
X = 18/3 = 6.

15days-----------18days.
5days------------ ?
So, 5/15 * 18 = 6days.
5days------------ ?
So, 5/15 * 18 = 6days.

@All.
A=18
B=15
B=10
A=?
So 18:15::x:10
X = 12
12 ÷ 2 = 6.
A=18
B=15
B=10
A=?
So 18:15::x:10
X = 12
12 ÷ 2 = 6.

10*1/15+x*1/18 = 1.
By solving you get x = 6 days.
By solving you get x = 6 days.
