It is given that Person J can finish the work in 

8 hours.
The amount of work done by Person J's in 1 hour is 18.
Also, Person L can finish the work in 6 hours.
The amount of work done by Person L's in 1 hour is 16.
So, the total amount of work done by both the person in 1 hour is calculated as:
18+16=3+424=724
The total amount of work done by both the person together in 1 hour is 724.
The total amount of work done by both the person together in 2 hours is 724×2=712.
Now, Person J left for lunch after 2 hours. So, the remaining work is 1-712=512.
The remaining work is 512 that has to be completed by Person L.
Since Person L can finish the work in 6 hours, the remaining work 512 will be done as:
512×6=2.5
Therefore, the required time to complete the remaining work by Person L is 2.5 hours.
