Accenture Company Numerical Ability Time and Work

To finish a piece of work, P takes Five times as Q and six times as R. Working together, they can finish the work in 4 days. Q can do the work alone in:
A) 24 days B) 48/5 days C) 13 days D) 11 days

Read Solution (Total 1)

Time taken by P:Q = 5q:q
Time taken by P:R = 6r:r
5q=6r

Time taken by p:q:r= 6r:6r/5:r
p+q+r's 1 day work =1/4
1/6r+5/6r+1/r=1/4
(1+5+6)/6r=1/4
6r=48
r=8
p= 6r=6*8=48
q=6r/5=48/5 days
Therefore, Q can finish the work alone in 48/5 days
