Solution
Amutha can weave a saree in 18 days.
Anjali is twice as good as Amutha.
ie. If Amutha weave for 2 days, Anjali do the same work in 1 day.
If Anjali weave the saree she will take
`18/2` = 9 days
Hence time taken by them together ab
= `"ab"/("a" + "b")` days
= `(18 xx 9)/(18 + 9)`
= `(18 xx 9)/27`
= `(6 xx 1)/3`
= 6 days
In 6 days they complete weaving the saree.
