P is 30% more efficient than Q. P can complete a work in 23 days. If P and Q work together, how much time will it take to complete the same work?

A. 9
B. 11
C. 23
D. 13

Work done by P in 1 day = 1/23
Let work done by Q in 1 day = q
q × (130/100) = 1/23
=> q = 100/(23×130) = 10/(23×13)
Work done by P and Q in 1 day = 1/23 + 10/(23×13) = 23/(23×13)= 1/13
=> P and Q together can do the work in 13 days

Correct Answer: D. 13 ✔
