Question : P can finish a work in 18 days. When he had worked for 5 days, Q joined him. If both of them together completed the remaining work in
Option 1: 5
Option 2: 4
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 3
Correct Answer: 3
Solution :
Let the total work be 18 units.
So, the efficiency of P =
Now, work done by P in 5 days = (1 × 5) = 5 units
The remaining work = (18 – 5) = 13 units
So, 13 units of work done by P and Q in
Now, the total efficiency of P and Q =
So, the efficiency of Q = (5 – 1) = 4
Also,
So, the required days for Q alone to do the 12 units of work =
Hence, the correct answer is 3.
