Each typist can type a page in two minutes.
In six minutes a typist can type three pages.
So six typists can each type three pages in six minutes for a total of 18 pages.
The answer is 6.

If two typists type two pages in two minutes, each types one page in two minutes. In six minutes, each will type three pages, so you will need six typists to type 18 pages.
