    C 36 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 54 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of efficiency of P and Q = 7:5 Let the efficiency of P and Q be 7x and 5x units per day respectively. Total work = 12x × 20 = 240x units Required time = (0.75 × 240x)/5x = 36 days
