44.2 days.
They would have needed another 19 days to finish the job together.
Instead Mukesh alone needs 28 days.
So Mukesh works 19/28 of the speed when they work together.
That means he could have done everything in 30*28/19 = 840/19 days (44 days and a bit)

Let's,
Mukesh=A
Chandan=B

(A+B)'s 11 days work=[(1/30)*11]=11/30
Remaining work=[1-(1/30)]=19/30

Now,
(19/30) work is done by A in 28 days
Then whole work will be done by A in [28*(30/19]=840/19
Ans is 840/19 days
