C. 3 minutes and 31 seconds

Read Explanation:

Solution: Given: Distance = 844m Speed of cyclists = 12m/s and 8m/s Formula Used: Relative Speed = Speed of faster cyclist - speed of slower cyclist Calculation: Relative speed of two cyclists = 12 - 8 = 4 m/s ⇒ Time after which they will overtake = 844/4 ⇒ 211 sec ⇒ 3 min and 31 sec ∴ The time taken by P to overtake Q is 3 min 31 sec.
