Question

    P, Q, R and S can do a piece of work in 20 days. If P

    and Q together can do it in 50 days, and R alone in 60 days, then in how many days can S alone do it?
    A 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 65 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 90 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let, total work = LCM of (20, 50, and 60) = 300 Hence, Efficiency of (P + Q + R + S) = 15 Efficiency of (P + Q) = 6 Efficiency of R = 5 Efficiency of S = 15-6-5=4 S alone can complete the whole work in = 300/4 = 75 days.
