Option 2 : 20%

Calculation:

Let number of days taken by P alone and by Q alone to complete the work be p days and q days respectively.

P's 1 day's work = 1/p

Q's 1 day's work = 1/q

Work completed in first four hours = 1 - 3/5 = 2/5

⇒ 4/p + 1/q = 2/5 ----(1)

P completes 2/3 of work and Q completes (1 - 2/3 = 1/3) of work.

⇒ 2p/3 - q/3 = 3 ----(2)

Solving (1) and (2),

⇒ p = 12 and q = 15

P and Q alone complete the work in 12 days and 15 days respectively.

∴ Required percentage = (15 - 12)/15 × 100 = 20%

For the first four hours, P works for all four hours while Q works for only one hour.
