multiply(4, const_3)
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 = 2 t if working together they can do the job in 8 hours we can infer 1 = 2 t + t * 4 = > 1 / 12 working alone taimour can do the job in 1 = 1 / 12 * hours = > 12 answer c
