P and Q together can complete a work in 105 days. Q and R together can complete the same work in 90 days, P and R together can complete the same work in 126 days. In how many days P, Q and R together can complete the same work?

P and Q together can complete a work in 105 days. Q and R together can complete the same work in 90 days, P and R together can complete the same work in 126 days. In how many days P, Q and R together can complete the same work? Correct Answer 70 days

Formula used:

Efficiency = 1/Number of days required to complete work

Calculation:

Work done by P and Q in 1 day = 1/105

Work done by Q and R in 1 day = 1/90

Work done by R and P in 1 day = 1/126

Adding all of them together

⇒ 2 × (R + P + Q) = 1/105 + 1/90 + 1/126 = 1/35

⇒ R + P + Q = 1/70

∴ R, P and Q can complete the work in 70 days
