[LIC (AAO), 2005]


  • Explanation

    According to the question,

    Since, P can complete a work in 12 days working for 8 hours a day.

    Work done in 1 day working for 1 hour a day

    P can complete =18×12=196th of the work

     

    Q can complete =18×10=180th of the work

    (P+Q) together can complete=180+196=11480th of the work

    Work done in 1 day working for 8 hours a day

    (P+Q) together can complete=11×8480=1160th of the work

    ∴  (P+Q) can complete the work in =6011=5511 days

    Hence option D is the correct.
