\r\n" );
document.write( "If Dinu alone can make 1/8 of the job in 5 days then Dinu can do the entire job in 8*5 = 40 days.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now, Dinu and Hemu can make  of the job per day, working together, as we know from the condition.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From the other side, Dinu can make  of the job per day, working alone.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, Hemu makes  of the work per day, working alone.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "If Hemu makes  of the work per day, he can complete the entire job in 24 days, working alone.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer.  Hemu can complete the entire job in 24 days, working alone.\r\n" );
