Answer:

18 eggs

Explanation:

2 hens lay 2 eggs in 2 days so each hen layer one egg in 2 days. We can infer that each hen needs 2 days to lay one egg.

2days: 1 egg :: 6days : x eggs

x= 6*1/2 = 3

So in 6 days, the hen will lay 3 eggs. Since there are 6 hens in total they will lay 6*3 = 18 eggs.

Hope this helps..
