B.
1/30 + 1/60 = 1/20, hence 20mins for both of them.

Time taken by John to rake a lawn = 30 minutes
The work done by John in 1 min = (1/30)
Time taken by John's Son to rake a lawn = 60 minutes
The work done by John's Son in 1 min = (1/60)
The work done by John and his Son in 1 min = (1/30)+(1/60) = (3/60) = (1/20)
i.e. Time taken by John and his Son together to rake (1/20) of Lawn = 1 min
i.e. Time taken by John and his Son together to rake (1) of Lawn = 1/(1/20) = 20 min
Answer: Option B
