As a punishment for something naughty that we did, my little brother and I have to whitewash both sides of a fence. We start at the same time, and we each work at a constant rate.

If we each whitewash one side, I'll finish in $2$ hours and my brother will finish in $3$ hours. But I'm a nice kid, so after I finish my side, I go around to the other side and help my brother finish his side. From the time I start helping him, how many minutes does it take us to finish the job?

Step-by-step explanation:

I Finish Work in 2 hrs

Work done in 1 Hr = 1/2

Brother Finish work in 3 Hrs Work done in 1 hr = 1/3

Let Say both Complete Work in T hrs as it has to be painted on both sides

Then T (1/2+1/3) = 2

=> T × 5/6 = 2

=> T = 2 Hr 24 Mins

=> T = 12/5 I will Take 2 Hrs to finish my work & 24 Mins to finish after start Helping
