Correct Answer: 3


Solution : Time taken by P to complete a project = 12 days
Time taken by Q to complete a project = 12 days
Work done by P in one day = $\frac{1}{12}$
Work done by Q in one day = $\frac{1}{12}$
Work done by P and Q in one day = $\frac{1}{12}$+$\frac{1}{12}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$
Time taken by P and Q to complete 50% of the project = $\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{6}}$ = 3 days
Hence, the correct answer is 3.
