see in this they are telling that if p start working then work will be completed in 31 days it means that p will work for 16 days and q will work for 15 days and let the efficiency of pand q will be P and Q respectively
therefore total unit of work will be 16P+15Q
Again if q will start working then work will be completed in 31 2/3 it means that q will work for 16 days and p will work for 47/3 days
therefore total unit of work will be 16Q+47/3 P
now u can solve both the question
