4 m/s is the correct answer, it's just simple subtraction. :) 

Hope this helps. 

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity of man with respect to stationary observer , Vm,o = 6 m/s East

Velocity of women with respect to stationary observer, Vw,m = 2 m/s West

Take east direction positive and west direction negative.

By the formula of relative velocity,

Vw,m = Vw,o - Vm,o

- 2 = Vw,o - 6

Vw,o = 6 - 2 = 4 m/s

Velocity of women with respect to stationary observer is 4 m/s. This is the actual velocity of women.
