    • Question

      ‘P’ and ‘Q’ together can finish a task in 15 days

      while ‘Q’ alone can do it in 25 days. If the ratio of efficiencies of ‘P’ and ‘R’ is 3:5 respectively, then find the ratio of efficiencies of ‘Q’ and ‘R’.
      A 8:9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 7:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 5:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 9:10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let total work = 75 units {LCM of 15 and 25}

      Efficiency of (P + Q) = 75/15 = 5 units/day

      Efficiency of Q = 75/25 = 3 units/day

      Therefore, efficiency of P = 5 – 3 = 2 units/day

      Efficiency of R = 2 × (5/3) = 10/3 units/day

      Required ratio = 3 : 10/3 = 9 : 10
