The analogy here is like this: Veeru has 20 lt of petrol and he uses 1 lt per each day and consumes it in 20 days. If he uses 1.25 lt every day, in how many days it will be consumed?

Even if you like to work as a team or independent. Make sure you show interest in both, As most jobs require you to work both as part of team and independent.

In general, the idea is to say what you prefer without being negative about the thing you don’t.

Independently -
If you have done enough research on the job posting and mostly need to work independently then you can say something like “I prefer to work alone, but I find that occasionally working with a team feels creative and fun. Always felt, it is easy to solve problems being part of a team.

Work in a Team -
On the other hand, if your research says that your job requires working in a team then you can say something like "I like the dynamics of working in a team, but do like working independently when the assignment requires it.”
