    Question

    P does half as much work as Q. R does half as much work as P and Q together. If R alone can finish it in 40 days, then all of them together will finish the work in how many days?

    A.

    15

    B.

    30

    C.

    20

    D.

    40/3

    Correct option is D

    Solution:

    Let efficiency of Q be 2 unit/da
    => Efficiency of P = 2/2 = 1 unit unit/day
    => Efficiency of R = (2 + 1)/2 = 1.5 unit/day
    Total work = 1.5 × 40 = 60 units
    ∴ P, Q and R together can complete the whole work in = 60/(2 + 1 + 1.5) = 60/4.5 = 40/3 days
