Correct Answer: 60 days


Solution : X and Y together in 1 day can do $\frac{1}{45}$ part
Y alone in 1 day can do $\frac{1}{180}$ part
So, X alone in 1 day can do = $\frac{1}{45}$ – $\frac{1}{180}$ = $\frac{1}{60}$ part of the work
Thus, X alone can complete the work in $(1÷\frac{1}{60})$ = 60 days
Hence, the correct answer is 60 days.
