4 days



If B takes 12 days to finish the work, then A takes 6 days to finish the same work. 

If A can complete a work in x days and B can complete the same work in y days, then, both 

of them together can complete the work in x y/ x+ y days. 

Therefore, the Number of days taken by A and B together to finish the same work = 6 × 12/18 

= 4 days.
