    Question

    P, Q and R can do a work in 15, 20 and 30 days respectively. The contractor decides to put any two of them on the job so as to finish the work earlier. Which of these choices is the best?

    A.

    Either PQ or QR

    B.

    QR

    C.

    RP

    D.

    PQ

    Correct option is D


    Given:
    P, Q and R can do a work in 15, 20 and 30 days respectively
    Concept Used:
    Ratio of time is inverse proportion to the efficiency
    Solution:
    Ratio of time of P, Q and R = 15:20:30 = 3:4:6
    Efficiency of P, Q and R = 1/3, 1/4, 1/6=4:3:2
    Therefore, P and Q are more than that of R.
    Thus, correct option is PQ.
