    Solution

    ATQ, Let p, q and r be the respective part of the works that can be done by Puneet, Qureshi and Rohit in one day.  Given that,  p + q = [(7/8) × (1/9)] = 7/72  q + r = [(3/5) × (1/8)] = 3/40 p + r = [(4/5) × (1/9)] = 4/45 Therefore,  2(p+q+r) = (7/72) + (3/40) + (4/45) = 94/360 p + q + r = 47/360 p = (47/360) - (3/40) = 20/360 = 1/18 Therefore, P alone will take 18 days to complete the work.
