Let his brother can distribute all newspaper in x hours, in one hour he can distribute 1/x of all newspaper

? in one hour Rohit can distribute 9/32 of all newspapers

∴ in one hour Rohit and his brother together can distribute 9/32 + 1/x of all newspaper.

15/32 = 9/32 + 1/x

x = 32/6 = 16/3 hours
