      Question

      The efficiency of P is 20% more than the efficiency of

      Q, and the efficiency of R is 80% of the efficiency of Q. If P starts with 5/4 of his efficiency along with Q, and after y days, P leaves the work, and R joins Q. The remaining work is completed by Q and R together in 3y days. From the information provided in the above question, which of the following can be determined? A) Find the value of y B) P and Q together can complete the work C) P, Q, and R together can complete 50% of the work
      A Only A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only A and C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only B and C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D All A, B, and C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Cannot be determined Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Answer: E Efficiency of Q = 5z Efficiency of P = 5z Γ— 120/100 = 6z Efficiency of R = 5z Γ— 80/100 = 4z If the efficiency of P is 5/4 = 6z Γ— 5/4 = 7.5z Work done: 7.5z Γ— y + 5z Γ— 3y + 4z Γ— 3y = 1 (whole work) Nothing can be determined without the value of y or z.
