Answer»

Step-by-step explanation:

\bf{\underline{\underline\red{Given:-}}}

  • He and his father together can do the work in 6 days.

\bf{\underline{\underline\blue{To\:Find:-}}}

  • The number of days, Aditya take to do that work alone.

\bf{\underline{\underline\green{Solution:-}}}

Let the number of days Aditya takes to do the work be x

And number of days taken by his father be y

As Aditya takes 9 more days than his father to complete the work.

\rm \implies x - y = 9

\rm \implies x  =y +  9......(i)

\rm Aditya's  \: one  \: day  \: work =   \dfrac{1}{x}

\rm His \:  father's \:  one  \: day \:  work =   \dfrac{1}{y}

They together take 6 days to complete the work.

\implies \rm    \dfrac{1}{x}   + \dfrac{1}{y}  =\dfrac{1}{6}

\implies \rm    \dfrac{y + x}{xy}    =\dfrac{1}{6}

\implies \rm    y + x  =\dfrac{xy}{6}

\implies \rm    6(x + y ) ={xy}

From (i) x = y + 9

\implies \rm    6(y + 9 + y ) ={y(y + 9)}

\implies \rm    6(2y + 9 ) ={y(y + 9)}

\implies \rm   12y + 54 = {y}^{2}   + 9y

\implies \rm    {y}^{2}   + 9y - 12y - 54 = 0

\implies \rm    {y}^{2}    - 3y - 54 = 0

\implies \rm    {y}^{2}    - 9y + 6y - 54 = 0[/tex[tex]\implies \rm    {y}(y   - 9) + 6(y - 9) = 0

\implies \rm    (y   - 9) (y + 6) = 0

\implies \rm    y = 9 \: , \:  - 6

Since the number of days should not be negative.

\implies \rm    y = 9

Since:-

\implies \rm   x -  y = 9

\implies \rm   x -  9= 9

\implies \rm   x = 18

Hence;

\boxed{  \therefore   \rm \: Aditya \: can \: complete \: the \: work  \: in \:  18 \: days}
