Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • Work done by P and Q in 6 days $ =6\times \frac{7}{60}=\frac{7}{10} $

$ \therefore $ Remaining $ =1-\frac{7}{10}=\frac{3}{10}th $ of work done by P in 3 days. Since, P alone can do the work in 10 days.

$ \therefore $ Q alone can do the work in $ \frac{10\times 6}{10-6}=15,days $

$ \therefore $ R alone can do the work in $ \frac{15\times \frac{60}{7}}{15-\frac{60}{7}}=20,days $

$ \therefore $ Difference $ =20-10=10days $
