Answer:

The faster computer will complete the job in 20 minutes alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Time taken by both computers = 12 minutes

Time taken by slower computer = 30 minutes

Let,

x be the time taken by faster computer.

\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{30} = \frac{1}{12}

\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{12}-\frac{1}{30}\\\\\frac{1}{x} = \frac{5-2}{60}\\\\\frac{1}{x} = \frac{3}{60}\\\\\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{20}\\\\x= 20

Hence,

The faster computer will complete the job in 20 minutes alone.
