    D 45 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let total work = 150 units (LCM of 25 and 15)
    Amount of work completed by β€˜P’ alone in one day = 150/25 = 6 units
    Amount of work completed by β€˜P’ and β€˜Q’ together in one day = 150/15 = 10 units
    Amount of work completed by β€˜Q’ alone in one day = 10 βˆ’ 6 = 4 units
    Desired time taken by β€˜Q’ alone to complete the work = 150/4 = 37.5 days
