Answer:

<em>6 days</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken by Carpenter working alone = C days

Then time taken by apprentice alone = Twice as that of taken by Carpenter = 2C days

Time taken working together = 2 days

Work done in one day working together = \frac{1}{2}

Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone = \frac{1}{C}

Work done in one day by apprentice working alone = \frac{1}{2C}

Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone + Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone =  \frac{1}{C}+\frac{1}{2C} = Work done in one day working together = \frac{1}{2}

\dfrac{1}{C}+\dfrac{1}{2C}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2+1}{2C}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow C = 3\ days

Time taken by Carpenter alone to complete the work = 3 days

Time taken by Apprentice alone to complete the work = 3 \times 2= <em>6 days</em>
