Ans: 30 days

1/P + 1/Q + 1/R = 1/12 ---(i)
Given, work is completed in 19 days, P works for 4 days, Q for 14 days and R for 19 days.
Then, 4/P + 14/Q + 19/R = 1 ---(ii)
Also given, rate of working of R is twice that of Q => 1/R = 2/Q
Now substituting 1/R = 2/Q in eqn. (i) & (ii), we get 1/P + 3/Q = 1/12 ---(iii) and
4/P + 52/Q = 1 --- (iv)
Solving eqn. (iii) & (iv), we get P=30, Q=60
Therefore, P alone can do the same work in 30 days.
