(f) Harry and his wife Ginny have a vegetable garden and a fruit orchard. Working together they can collect the harvest from the garden in 3 hours, whereas Ginny, working alone, require 12 hours. Furthermore, together they can harvest the orchard in 2 hours, whereas Harry, alone, takes 10 hours. It would seem that to harvest both the garden and the orchard, they should first spend 3 hours in garden and then 2 hours in the orchard, a total of 5 hours in all. However, Harry is much more skillful at picking vegetables and Ginny is better at picking fruit, so that they can save time by having Harry work in the garden and Ginny work in the orchard until one of them finishes. That person would help the other. How much time can they save in this manner?
