Answer:

Total required time is 24 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that working together, machine J, machine K, and machine L can complete a job in 12 minutes.

Part of job completed by all machines together in one minute is

One minute work of all = \frac{1}{12}

Working alone, machine J can complete a job in 20 minutes.

Part of job completed by machine J in one minute = \frac{1}{20}

Part of job completed by machine K and L together in one minute is

One minute work of K and L together = \frac{1}{12}-\frac{1}{20}=\frac{1}{30}

It is given that Machine J worked alone for a given amount of time. Then, machines K and L worked together, and with no other machine, for the same amount of time.

Let the given amount of time be x.

\frac{1}{20}x+\frac{1}{30}x=1

\frac{1}{12}x=1

Multiply both sides by 12.

x=12

Total required time is

2x=24

Therefore total required time is 24 minutes.
