P and Q together can do a job in 6 days. Q and R can finish the same job in 60/7 days. P started the work and worked for 3 days. Q and R continued for 6 days and finish the work. Then, the difference of days in which R and P , independently can complete the job is:
P and Q together can do a job in 6 days. Q and R can finish the same job in 60/7 days. P started the work and worked for 3 days. Q and R continued for 6 days and finish the work. Then, the difference of days in which R and P , independently can complete the job is:
Solution
P and Q working together can finish in 6 days. Let P take days alone and Q take days alone.
... (Equation 1)
Q and R working together can finish in days. Let R take days alone.
... (Equation 2)
P worked for 3 days, then Q and R worked together for 6 days to complete the job:
From Equation 2, :
Therefore, P can complete the job alone in 10 days.
Using Equation 1:
Therefore, Q can complete the job alone in 15 days.
Using Equation 2:
Therefore, R can complete the job alone in 20 days.
Difference days
Therefore, the difference of days in which R and P independently can complete the job is 10 days.
