      times the time that Raju takes to finish a task, and all three working together can complete it in two days, how much time will Qureshi need to complete the task alone?

      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ;
      Let time taken by Pawan alone to finish the work = 6x

      Time taken by Qureshi alone to finish the work = 3x

      Time taken by Raju alone to finish the work = 2x

      Let total work = LCM of 6x, 3x, and 2x = 6x

      Part of work done by Pawan, Qureshi, and Raju alone in 1 day is 1 unit, 2 units, and 3 units respectively.

      Total time taken to finish the task by all the 3 persons together = 2

      6x/(1 + 2 + 3) = 2

      x = 2

      Time taken by Q alone to finish the work = 3x = 6 days
