Answer : 3. "15 days"
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 P alone can finish the work in 22.5(3+1)/6 = 15 days.
