Answer:
8 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the work done by Q in 2 days= x
Amount paid for 2 days for Q = Rs 400
Amount paid for 2 days for P = Rs 1200
So the work done by P in 2 days = 3 times more than that of Q
= 3x
Total work done for two days by P and Q = 3x + x = 4x
Q:
In 2 days, he could complete — x
How many days to complete — 4x work
Cross Multiplication;
Number of Days Q alone can complete the total work in = (4x * 2) / x
= 8 days
