    12 minutes

    Option D

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that circuar gears P and Q start rotating at the same time at constant speeds.

    Gear P makes 10 revolutions per minute and Gear Q makes 40 revolutions per minute.

    Both gears start at the same time.

    No of rotations per minute are 10 and 40

    Difference is 30 in one minute

    For 6 difference we must have exactly 1/5 minutes

    which equals 12 seconds.

    In 1/5 minutes or 12 seconds gear P would have completed 2 revolutions while Gear Q would have completed 8 revolutions thus making difference as 6.
