let gita makes a basket in 4 hr
sita gita
time 6 hr 4 hr
baskets a+4 a
becoz working rate is same so both make same no of basket in 1 hr
so (a+4)/6 = a/4
a = 8
so sita makes (a+4)/6 = 12/6 = 2 basket in 1 hr

let gita makes x basket in 4 hours => x/4 basket in 1 hour
let sita makes x+4 basket in 6 hours => X+4/6 basket in 1 hour

-----------------NOW RATE IS REVERSED ---------------
Gita makes 2 basket less than sita in 2 hours ;
=> (x+4)/6 x 2= (x/4) x 2 - 2 ;
Gita in 2 hrs = sita in 2 hrs - 2; (note that their efficiencies have been reversed . );
on solving for x ;
x=20 ;

put x for sita's equation and answer is : (4+20)/6 in 1 hour
=>24/6 in 1 hour = 4 basket.
