A. 5 days
B. 10 days
C. 15 days
D. 12 days

Work done by P in 1 day = 1/20
Work done by Q in 1 day = 1/12
Work done by P in 4 days = 4 × (1/20) = 1/5
Remaining work = 1 – 1/5 = 4/5
Work done by P and Q in 1 day = 1/20 + 1/12 = 8/60 = 2/15
Number of days P and Q take to complete the remaining work = (4/5) / (2/15) = 6
Total days = 4 + 6 = 10
