Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: $4 \frac{8}{13}$

Solution : P, Q and R can complete a task in 10 days, 15 days and 20 days, respectively.
P's work in 1 day = $\frac{1}{10}$
Q's work in 1 day = $\frac{1}{15}$
R's work in 1 day = $\frac{1}{20}$
Work done by P, Q, and R together in 1 day = $\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{20} = \frac{13}{60}$
So, P, Q, and R can complete the whole task in $\frac{60}{13}$ days = $4 \frac{8}{13}$ days
Hence, the correct answer is $4 \frac{8}{13}$ days.
