The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will first determine the work done by each pair of workers (P, Q, and R) and then find out how long it will take for all three to complete the job together. ### Step 1: Determine Total Work Assume the total work to be done is 30 units. This is chosen because it is the least common multiple (LCM) of the days taken by the pairs to complete the work (6, 10, and 5).
