    B Rs. 75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 85 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total work be LCM of (38, 57 and 19) = 114 units Number of units of work done by P alone in one day = 114/38 = 3 units Number of units of work done by Q alone in one day = 114/57 = 2 units Number of units of work done by P, Q and R together in one day = 114/19 = 6 units Number of units of work done by R alone in one day = 6 – 3 – 2 = 1 unit So, time taken by R alone to complete the work = 114/1 = 114 days So, per day wage of R = 6270/114 = Rs. 55
