A does half as much work as B in `3/4`th of the time. If together they take 18 day to complete the work. In how many days can B complete the work alone.

Let `B` take `x` days in completing the work.
`:.` Work done by `B` in one day `= 1/x`
Now, `A` does half of the work than `B` in `3/4`th of `B` time.
`:.` Work done by `A` in one day `= (1/(2x))/(3/4) = 2/(3x) `
Both of them together complete that work in `18` days.
`:. 1/x+2/(3x) = 1/18`
`=>5/(3x) = 1/18`
`=>3x=90`
