\r\n" );
document.write( "Rahim's and his son's combined rate of work is  of the job per hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Rahim's individual rate of work is  of the job per hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the son's individual rate of work is the  DIFFERENCE   =  =   of the job per hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, it will take 60 hours for his son to complete the job working alone.\r\n" );
