Answer:

It would take the clerical worker 6 hr to finish the job working alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the time taken( in hours ) by executive to finish the job when he works alone,

⇒ One hour work of the executive = \frac{1}{x}

According to the question,

Time taken by clerical worker to finish the job alone = 2x hours,

⇒ One hour work of the clerical worker = \frac{1}{2x}

Total work in one hour when they work together = \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{2x}

Now, it takes them 2 hr to finish the job together,

So, total work in one hour when they work together = \frac{1}{2}

\implies \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{2x}=\frac{1}{2}

\frac{2+1}{2x}=\frac{1}{2}

\frac{3}{x}=1

\implies x = 3

Hence, time taken by clerical worker to finish the job alone = 2(3) = 6 hours
