Correct Answer: $8 \frac{4}{7}$ hours
Solution : Given: Aditya can complete a grill painting job in 20 hours. Vinay can complete the same work in 15 hours. Let the total work be LCM of (20, 15) = 60 units ⇒ Efficiency of Aditya = $\frac{60}{20} = 3$ units/hour ⇒ Efficiency of Vinay = $\frac{60}{15} = 4$ units/hour ⇒ Efficiency of Aditya + Vinay = 3 + 4 = 7 units/ hour If they work together, time taken = $\frac{60}{7} = 8\frac{4}{7}$ Hence, the correct answer is $8 \frac{4}{7}$ hours.
