    let us give a value to the total amount of work =x
    person a: 40 mins. --> x
    24 mins. --> 24x/40

    person b: y mins. -->x
    24mins -->24x/y

    when working together , they complete the whole work in 24 mins.

    therefore,
    24x/40 +24x/y = x
    y=60 mins..
    hence , person b completes the same work in 60 minutes.
