Hello,

Let, the work done by P be p

and the work done by Q and R together be x

So, from first condition, p = 2x

All three can do work in 21 days.

So, 21 [ ( 1 / 2x ) + ( 1 / x ) ] = 1

So, 21 ( 3x / 2 x^2 ) = 1

So, 2x = 3 x 21

So, x = 63 / 2

So, x = 31.5 days.

So, Q and R can do the work together in 31.5 days

Best Wishes.
