Correct Answer: 8 days
Solution : P alone can do a piece of work in 24 days. Q alone can do it in 30 days and R alone can do it in 20 days. P's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{24}$ Q's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{30}$ R's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{20}$ When P, Q, and R work together, their combined 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{24} + \frac{1}{30} + \frac{1}{20} = \frac{1}{8}$ So, together they will finish the work in 8 days. Hence, the correct answer is 8 days.
