Answer

The time should be less than either individual person.

Work Step by Step

We know that if two people are working on a task independently yet simultaneously, they should complete the task in less time than if only one of them was working on the project. Thus, the time that it takes both of them to complete the project should be less than the time either of them individually would spend to complete that project.
