What's the difference between Absolute C++ and Problem Solving with C++? Thanks!

Problem Solving with C++ is for absolutely beginners. I used the early version of that book when I took C++ in '97. It's easy to learn from that book if you have not programmed before. It's in 7th edition now.
Absolute C++ came out later which is marketed to beginning and intermediate programmers. It's a bit less hand holding than the other book.

How many months should it take for a person with no previous programming experience to finish 'Problem solving with c++'? I can give 3-4 hours daily.

It depends. It would take a while to go through if you want to do all of the coding exercise there. Try it and you can find out your own pace after a month.

It is possible to spend [1,4]hours just getting code to compile. But it goes with the territory.
With no programming experience doing C++ on your own will almost be impossible (IN GENERAL).
You might have a very frustrating time, but what do I know
The structural solution is QN C++ course.
