Option 4 : 30 days
Given:
P does 3/4 of a piece of work = 15 days
When Q comes then both fished the work = 3 days
Concept used:
Total work = LCM
Formula used:
Efficiency = Work/Time
Calculations:
P does 3/4 of a piece of work = 15 days
Time taken by P to complete the total work = 15 × 4/3 = 20 days
Remaining work = 1 – 3/4 = 1/4
So, P + Q work 1/4 in 3 days
Now, Time taken by P and Q to complete the work total work together = 3 × 4/1 = 12 days
Total work = LCM = 60

60/20 = 3 |

P + Q |
12 days |
60 |
60/12 = 5 |
Efficiency of Q = 5 – 3 = 2
Time taken by Q to complete the work alone = 60/2 = 30 days
∴ Time taken by Q to complete the work alone is 30 days
