    β€˜P’ can finish a task in 36 days, while β€˜Q’ can

    do the same task in (x + 4) days. If both work together and finish the task in 12 days, what is the value of (2x + 9)?
    A 37 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 62 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let total work be 36(x + 4) units Efficiency of P = 36(x + 4) Γ· 36 = (x + 4) units/day Efficiency of Q = 36(x + 4) Γ· (x + 4) = 36 units/day Now, (x + 4 + 36) Γ— 12 = 36(x + 4) 12x + 480 = 36x + 144 24x = 336 x = 14 Required value = 2x + 9 = 2Γ—14 + 9 = 37
