Suppose Y can finish a work in x days.
X can finish the work in (x - 3) days.
X's 1 day's work = $1/{x - 3}$
X's 4 days work = $4/{x - 3}$
Remaining work = $1 - {4/{x - 3}}$ = ${x - 7}/{x - 3}$
Y can finish 1 work in x days.
Y can finish 1 work in ${x - 7}/{x - 3}$ = $ x *{x - 7}/{x - 3}$ days.
By hypothesis,
$x *{x - 7}/{x - 3} + 4$ = 14
$x^2 - 17x + 30 = 0$
x = 2 or X = 15
So,X can finish the work in 15 days.
Y can finish the work in x - 3 = 15 - 3 = 12.
Hence, X and Y can individually finish the work in 15 or 12 days respectively.
