The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze both quantities step by step. ### Quantity I: 1. **Understanding the Work Rates**: - Let the total work be represented as 1 unit of work. - A and B together can complete the work in 4 days. Therefore, their combined work rate is: \[ \text{Work rate of A and B} = \frac{1 \text{ unit}}{4 \text{ days}} = \frac{1}{4} \text{ units/day} \] 2. **A's Work Rate**: - A alone can complete the work in 6 days. Therefore, A's work rate is: \[ \text{Work rate of A} = \frac{1 \text{ unit}}{6 \text{ days}} = \frac{1}{6} \text{ units/day} \] 3. **Finding B's Work Rate**: - Let B's work rate be \( b \) units/day. From the combined work rate, we have: \[ \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{6} + b \] - Rearranging gives: \[ b = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{6} \] - To subtract these fractions, find a common denominator (which is 12): \[ b = \frac{3}{12} - \frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{12} \text{ units/day} \] 4. **Calculating Time for B Alone**: - If B's work rate is \( \frac{1}{12} \) units/day, then the time taken by B to complete the work alone is: \[ \text{Time for B} = \frac{1 \text{ unit}}{\frac{1}{12} \text{ units/day}} = 12 \text{ days} \] ### Quantity II: 1. **Understanding the Work Rates**: - A can do the work in 4 hours. Therefore, A's work rate is: \[ \text{Work rate of A} = \frac{1 \text{ unit}}{4 \text{ hours}} = \frac{1}{4} \text{ units/hour} \] 2. **B and C Together**: - B and C together can do the work in 3 hours. Therefore, their combined work rate is: \[ \text{Work rate of B and C} = \frac{1 \text{ unit}}{3 \text{ hours}} = \frac{1}{3} \text{ units/hour} \] 3. **A and C Together**: - A and C together can do the work in 2 hours. Therefore, their combined work rate is: \[ \text{Work rate of A and C} = \frac{1 \text{ unit}}{2 \text{ hours}} = \frac{1}{2} \text{ units/hour} \] 4. **Setting Up the Equations**: - Let B's work rate be \( b \) units/hour and C's work rate be \( c \) units/hour. - From the equations, we have: 1. \( \frac{1}{4} + c = \frac{1}{2} \) (from A and C) 2. \( b + c = \frac{1}{3} \) (from B and C) 5. **Solving for C**: - From the first equation: \[ c = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{4} \text{ units/hour} \] 6. **Finding B's Work Rate**: - Substitute \( c \) into the second equation: \[ b + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{3} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ b = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4} \] - Finding a common denominator (which is 12): \[ b = \frac{4}{12} - \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{12} \text{ units/hour} \] 7. **Calculating Time for B Alone**: - If B's work rate is \( \frac{1}{12} \) units/hour, then the time taken by B to complete the work alone is: \[ \text{Time for B} = \frac{1 \text{ unit}}{\frac{1}{12} \text{ units/hour}} = 12 \text{ hours} \] ### Conclusion: - **Quantity I**: B alone takes 12 days. - **Quantity II**: B alone takes 12 hours. ### Comparison: - 12 days (Quantity I) is greater than 12 hours (Quantity II). ### Final Answer: - **Quantity I is greater than Quantity II**.

To solve the problem, we will analyze both quantities step by step. ### Quantity I: 1. **Understanding the Work Rates**: - Let the total work be represented as 1 unit of work. - A and B together can complete the work in 4 days.
