Correct Answer: 6.6 days
Solution : P alone can complete a work in 15 days. ⇒ P's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{15}$ Q alone can complete the same work in 12 days. ⇒ Q's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{12}$ So, (P + Q)'s 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{3}{20}$ ⇒ (P + Q)'s 3 days work = $\frac{3}{20}×3=\frac{9}{20}$ Remaining work $=1-\frac{9}{20}=\frac{11}{20}$ So, Q's will complete the remaining work in $\frac{\frac{11}{20}}{\frac{1}{12}}=\frac{33}{5}=6.6$ days Hence, the correct answer is 6.6 days.
