Solution:
It takes X hours for the old one alone,
It takes (X-15) hours for the new one alone
We assume the work is 1
so Time taken to finish a project together is 1/X + 1/(x-15)
so 1/X + 1/(x-15)= 1/4
we calculate it
X=20
so
It takes 20 hours for the old one alone,
It takes 5 hours for the new one alone
