    Time taken by first team by their own = 10 days

    Time taken by second team by their own = 15 days

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that:-

    The ratio of the number of days taken by the first team to that of second team = 2:3

    Let the number of days taken by first team = 2x days

    Let the number of days taken by second team = 3x days

    Let the work to be done = 6x units

    So, Efficiency of first team = 6x units / 2x days = 3 units/day

    Efficiency of second team = 6x units / 3x days = 2 units/day

    If they work together they complete in 6 days, then total efficiency = 5 units/day

    So,

    5 units / day * 6 days = 6x units

    x = 5 units

    Total work = 30 units

    Time taken by first team by their own = 30 units / 3 units/day = 10 days

    Time taken by second team by their own = 30 units / 2 units/day = 15 days
