+ Explanationsolution:
(A + B)'s 2 hour's work `= (1/4 + 1/6)`
                                `= 5/12`.
(A +B)'s 4 hour's work `= (5/12 xx 2)`
                              `= 10/12`
                              `= 5/6`.
Remaining work `= (1 - 5/6)`
                     `= 1/6`.
Now, it is A's turn.
`1/4` work is done by A in 1 hour
`1/6` work is done by A in `(4 xx 1/6)`
                                    `= 2/3` hours.
Total time taken `= 4 2/3` hours.
