Answer 2

Given kevin has no poems to start, and writes three new poems each day While

Anita has four poems to start, and writes two new poems each day.

Total number of poems on Day 1 by Kevin =3

Total number of poems on day 1 by Anita = 4+2=6

Total number of poems on Day 2 by Kevin =3+3=6

Total number of poems on Day 2 by Anita =6+2=8

Total number of poems on Day 3 by Kevin 6+3=9

Total number of poems on Day 3 by Anita =8+2=10

Total number of poems on Day 4 by Kevin=9+3=12

Total number of poems on Day 4 by Anita =10+2=12

On day 4 they will have same number of poems .

Option (D) 4 days is the right answer.
