Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 13 minutes

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text{Work by Q in 26 min} = 26 \times \frac{1}{52} = \frac{1}{2} \) \( \text{Remaining work} = 1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \) \( \text{Time P worked} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{26}} = \frac{1}{2} \times 26 = 13 \text{ minutes} \)
