Mr. Verma and Mr. Singh completed 1/16 and 1/24 of the course per week.

In two weeks 1/16 + 1/24 = 5/48 of the course will be completed.

∴ In 9 × 2 weeks, 9 × (5/48) of the course will be completed or in 18 weeks, 15/16 of the course will be completed.

Remaining course = 1/16 of the course will be completed in 19th week by Mr. Verma.
