Options:	A) 6 hours	B) 8 hours	C) 18 hours	D) 24 hours	E) 32 hours
I believe the answer is C. Please see below for explanation.   if Jamshid can paint a dence in 50 percent less time then Taimour we can infer the following rate J = 2T   if working together they can do the job in 8 hours we can infer 1 = 2T+T * 6 =&gt; 1/18   Working alone Taimour can do the job in 1 = 1/18* hours =&gt; 18   Answer 18 hours
<result>C</result>
