c29 days
d30 days✓ Correct
eNone of the above/More than one of the above

Explanation

Let the total work = 60 Anil and Suman both can do in one day = $$\frac{60}{12}$$ = 5 work Work done by Anil in one day = $$\frac{60}{20}$$ = 3 work ∴ Work done by Suman in one day = (5 – 3) work = 2 work ∴ Time taken by Suman to complete total work = $$\frac{60}{2}$$ Days = 30 Days
