Answer : 2. "13 days"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 13 days Explanation: Ratio of times taken by P & Q = 100 : 130 = 10:13   Let Q takes x days to do the work Then, 10:13 :: 23:x => x = 23x13/10 => x = 299/10   P's 1 day's work = 1/23 Q's 1 day's work = 10/299 (P+Q)'s 1 day's work = (1/23 + 10/299) = 23/299 = 1/13 Hence, P & Q together can complete the work in 13 days.
