Let,Srinu takes x hour to complete work.

then Mohan takes x/3 hour to complete the work.

According to question,

$$x\ -40=\frac{x\ }{3}.$$

or,$$x\ -\frac{x\ }{3}=40.$$

or,$$\frac{2x\ }{3}=40.$$

or,$$x\ =60.$$

Then,they will do in 1 hour $$\ \frac{\ 1}{20}+\frac{1\ }{60}=\frac{3+1\ }{60}=\frac{4\ }{60}=\frac{1`\ }{15}$$ part.

So, they together will complete in 15 hour.

C is correct choice.
