Correct Answer: 9 days
Solution : P and Q together can complete a task in 6 days. P can alone complete the work in 18 days. Work done by P in 1 day = $ \frac{1}{18}$ $\therefore$ Work done by Q in 1 day = $\frac{1}{6} – \frac{1}{18}= \frac{3 – 1}{18} = \frac{2}{18} = \frac{1}{9}$th of the work So, Q can complete the task in 9 days. Hence, the correct answer is 9 days.
