Ratio of efficiencies of P, Q and R = 2 : 3 : 4

From the given data,

Number of working days of P, Q, R = 5 : 10 : 5

Hence, ratio of amount of p, Q, R = 2x5 : 3x10 : 4x5 = 10 : 30 : 20

Amounts of P, Q, R = 200, 600 and 400.

Galloping inflation is also known as jumping inflation.

It refers to a type of inflation that occurs when the prices of goods and services increase at the two-digit or three-digit rate per annum.

Earth is not a Jovian Planet as it is a Terrestrial planet.
