Given :

Kamila can do a job in 26 hours. So, work done by her in 1 hour = 1/ 26

Simon and kamila can do the same work in 9 hours. So, work done by Simon and kamila in 1 hour = 1/9

Then, Simon's 1 hour work = 1/9 - 1/ 26

= 17/234

Then, total time taken by Simon to complete the work alone = 1/17/234

= 234/17

= 13.76 hours
