    Question

    P, Q, and R take 18,15 and 10 days respectively to complete a job. Compare their efficiencies as a ratio.

    A.

    5 : 5 : 9

    B.

    5 : 5 : 6

    C.

    5 : 6 : 9

    D.

    5 : 6 : 10

    Correct option is C


    𝐺𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑛:
    𝑃, 𝑄 π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ 𝑅 π‘‘π‘Žπ‘˜π‘’ 18, 15 π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ 10 π‘‘π‘Žπ‘¦π‘  π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘ π‘π‘’π‘π‘‘π‘–π‘£π‘’π‘™π‘¦
    Solution:
    As we know the efficiency is the inversely proportional to the time.
    Thus, the efficiencies of P, Q and R = 1/18 : 1/15 : 1/10
    LCM of 18, 15 and 10 = 90
    = 90/18 : 90/15 : 90/10
    = 5 : 6 : 9
    Therefore, the correct answer is (c).
