    Question

    If β€˜P’ can complete a task in 24 days and β€˜P’

    with β€˜Q’ together can finish it in 15 days, then how many days will β€˜Q’ take to complete the work alone?
    A 33 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 22 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 56 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 40 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total work = 120 units {LCM (24 and 15)} Efficiency of β€˜P’ = (120/24) = 5 units/day Efficiency of β€˜P’ and β€˜Q’ together = (120/15) = 8 units/day Efficiency of β€˜Q’ = (8 – 5) = 3 units/day Time taken by β€˜Q’ to finish the work alone = (120/3) = 40 days
