Correct Answer: $2 \frac{6}{19}$
Solution : P and Q complete the job in $4 \frac{2}{5}$ days = $\frac{22}{5}$ days R and S complete the same job in $4 \frac{8}{9}$ days = $\frac{44}{9}$ days P, Q, R, and S, working together, would complete in 1 day $=\frac{5}{22}+ \frac{9}{44} = \frac{10+9}{44} = \frac{19}{44}$th of the job. $\therefore$ P, Q, R, and S would complete the entire job in $\frac{44}{19} = 2\frac{6}{19}$ days Hence, the correct answer is $2\frac{6}{19}$ days.
