Q:

Time taken by P alone to finish a work is 50% more than the time taken by P and Q together. Q is thrice as efficient as R. If Q and R together can complete the work in 22.5 days, then how many days will P alone take to complete the work ?

A) 17 days B) 11 days
C) 15 days D) 16 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 15 days

Explanation:

We know that Time is inversely proportional to Efficiency

Here given time ratio of P & P+Q as

P/P+Q = 150/100 = 3:2

Efficiency ratio of P & Q as

P:Q = 2:1 ....(1)

Given Efficiency ratio of Q & R as

Q:R = 3:1 ....(2)

From (1) & (2), we get

P:Q:R = 6:3:1
