    Question

    P alone can finish a piece of work ‘M’ in 6 days

    while Q takes 3 days to finish it alone. P, Q and R working together can finish the work ‘N’ which is 10 times of work ‘M’ in 4 days. How long will R take to finish work ‘N’, when working alone?
    A 6.6 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 8 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 12 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 15 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

     Let the work ‘M’ = 6 units (LCM of 6 and 3) Efficiency of P = 6/6 = 1 units Efficiency of Q = 6/3 = 2 units Efficiency of P, Q and R = (6 × 10)/4 = 15 units per day Efficiency of R = 15 – (1 + 2) = 12 units per day Time taken by R to finish work ‘N’ = 60/12 = 5 days
