Correct Answer: 10
Solution : (P + Q)'s 1 day work = $\frac{1}{6}$ (Q + R)'s 1 day work = $\frac{7}{60}$ Let P alone take $x$ days to finish the work. According to the question, ⇒ $\frac{3}{x}+\frac{6 \times 7}{60}=1$ ⇒ $\frac{3}{x}=1-\frac{7}{10}$ ⇒ $\frac{3}{x}=\frac{3}{10}$ ⇒ $x=10$ days Q's 1 day work = $\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{10}$ = $\frac{5-3}{30}$ = $\frac{1}{15}$ R's 1 day work = $\frac{7}{60}-\frac{1}{15}$ = $\frac{7-4}{60}$ = $\frac{1}{20}$ Time taken by R = 20 days Difference of R and P = 20 – 10 = 10 days Hence, the correct answer is 10.
