Answer 1

$\huge\fcolorbox{black}{lime}{AnsweR:}$

18 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Together they complete the work in 12 days ,

So, in one day they complete 1/12work.

Since P is twice good as Q,

So P's work done in one day= 2x ,

& Qs work done in one day= x ,

So, 2x + x = 1/12,

3x = 1/12,

X = 1/36,

So, Qs work done in oneday= 1/36,

& P's work done in one day= 1/18,

So, P alone will take 18 days to complete a piece of work ,
