    Question

    β€˜P’ and β€˜Q’ can complete a task in 72 days,

    while β€˜Q’ and β€˜R’ can finish 60% of the same task in 27 days. If β€˜R’ is twice as efficient as β€˜P’, how many days will β€˜R’ alone take to complete the entire task?
    A 60 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 45 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 25 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 18 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Time taken by β€˜Q’ and β€˜R’ to do the whole work = (27 Γ— 100) / 60 = 45 days Let total work = LCM of 72 and 45 = 360 units Efficiency of β€˜P’ and β€˜Q’ = 360 / 72 = 5 units/day Efficiency of β€˜Q’ and β€˜R’ = 360 / 45 = 8 units/day Let efficiency of β€˜P’ = y Then efficiency of β€˜R’ = 2y ATQ, (Q + R) - (P + Q) = 2y - y = y = 3 β‡’ y = 3 β‡’ R’s efficiency = 2 Γ— 3 = 6 units/day Time taken by β€˜R’ = 360 / 6 = 60 days
