Answer: Hence, Mr. Itol takes 9 hours, and his assistant takes 18 hours alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours Mr. Itol takes be 'x'.

Let the number of hours Mr. Itol's assistant takes be '2x'.

Total number of hours both experts take = 6 hours

According to question, we get that

\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{2x}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\dfrac{2+1}{2x}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\dfrac{3}{2x}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\18=2x\\\\x=\dfrac{18}{2}\\\\x=9

Number of hours taken by him = x = 9 hours

Number of hours taken by his assistant = 2x = 2\times 9=18\ hours

Hence, Mr. Itol takes 9 hours, and his assistant takes 18 hours alone.
