Question : P and Q together can do a work in 12 days. P alone can do the same work in 18 days. In how many days can Q alone complete two-thirds part of the same work?
Option 1: 30
Option 2: 21
Option 3: 24
Option 4: 36
Correct Answer: 24
Solution : Time taken by P alone to complete a work = 18 days Part of work done by P alone in a day = $\frac{1}{18}$ Let $x$ be the time Q alone takes to complete a work. Part of work done by Q alone in a day = $\frac{1}{x}$ Time taken by P and Q together to complete a work = 12 days Part of work done by P and Q together in a day = $\frac{1}{12}$ So, $\frac{1}{18} + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{12}$ $⇒\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{12} - \frac{1}{18} = \frac{3-2}{36} = \frac{1}{36}$ Time taken by Q alone to complete the work = 36 days Time taken by Q alone to complete two-thirds of the work = $\frac{2}{3}$ × 36 = 24 days Hence, the correct answer is 24.
