    Question

    'P' and 'Q' can complete a task in 36 days together. If

    'P' alone can do it in 60 days, how long would 'Q' take to finish the task alone?
    A 90 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 75 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 65 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 45 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the total work be 180 units. {LCM (36 and 60)} So, combined efficiency of 'P' and 'Q' = 180 ├╖ 36 = 5 units/day Efficiency of 'P' = 180 ├╖ 60 = 3 units/day So, efficiency of 'Q' = 5 - 3 = 2 units/day So, time taken by 'Q' to do the work alone = 180 ├╖ 2 = 90 days
