Public and private goods, Time Pareto

Tarzan and Jane live alone in the jungle and have trained Cheetah both to patrol the perimeter of their clearing and to harvest tropical fruits. Cheetah can collect 3 pounds of fruit an hour and currently spends 6 hours patrolling, 8 hours picking, and 10 hours sleeping.

A) What are the public and private goods in this example?

B) If Tarzan and Jane are each currently willing to give up on hour of patrol for 2 pounds of fruit, is the current allocation of Cheetah's time Pareto efficient?

Should he patrol more or less?
