Correct Answer: 12


Solution : Time taken by P and Q to do the work = 12 days
(P and Q)'s 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{12}$
P alone can do the work in 36 days
P's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{36}$
Q's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{12} - \frac{1}{36}=\frac{2}{36}=\frac{1}{18}$
⇒ Q can do the whole work in 18 days
So, $\frac{2}{3}$ work can be done by Q in 18 × ($\frac{2}{3}$) = 12 days
Hence, the correct answer is 12.
