Relative speed = 42 + 36 = 78 km/hr = 653 m/s

Distance = (520 + 520) =1040 mts.

Time = 1040×365= 48 sec

LCM of (80, 85, 90) can be found by prime factorizing them.

80 → 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5

85 → 17 × 5

90 → 2 × 3 × 3 × 5

L.C.M of (80,85,90) = 2 × 2 x 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 17

= 16 x 9 x 85

= 144 x 85

= 12240

L.C.M of (80,85,90) = 12240.

Work done by P alone in one day = 1/6th of the total work done by Q alone in one day = 1/3(of that done by P in one day) = 1/3(1/6 of the total) = 1/18 of the total. 

Work done by P and Q, working together in one day = 1/6 + 1/18  = 4/18 = 2/9 

They would take 9/2 days = 4 (1/2) days to complete the work working together.

Quantity of fruit juice in the mixture = 70 - [70 x (10/100) ]= 63 litres.

After adding water, juice would form 87.5% of the mixture.

Hence, if quantity of mixture after adding x liters of water, [(87.5) /100 ]*x = 63 => x = 72 

Hence 72 - 70 = 2 litres of water must be added.

1 man's 1 day work = 1/108
12 men's 6 day's work = 1/9 x 6 = 2/3

Remaining work = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3

16 men's 1 day work = 1/108 x 16 = 4/27
4/27 work is done by them in 1 day.

1/3 work is done by them in 27/4 x 1/3 = 9/4 days.
