Option 3 : 36

P can do a piece of work in 20 days

Part of work P can do in a day = 1/20

Q can do a piece of work in 30 days.

Part of work Q can do in a day = 1/30

∴ Part of work P and Q can do in 5 days together = 5/20 + 5/30 = 5/12

∴ Remaining part of work = 1 - (5/12) = 7/12

R finishes 7/12^th part of the work in 21 days

∴ R can complete the whole work alone in 21/(7/12) = 36 days
