Aman complete work in = 16 days

Aman’s 1 - day work = 1/16

Shyam complete work in = 20 days

Shyam’s 1 - day work = 1/20

Both working together for 1 hour = (1/16) + (1/20)

Both working together for 1 hour = (5 + 4)/80

Time to complete the work together = 80/9 days

∴ Time to complete double the work together = 160/9 days
