P can lay railway track between two stations in 16 days. Q can do the same job in 12 days. With the help of R, they completes the job in 4 days. How much days does it take for R alone to complete the work?  Pick one
A) 2/7  B) 4/9  C) 6/7  D) 1/2  E) 9 3/5
9 3/5xplanation :   Amount of work P can do in 1 day = 1/16   Amount of work Q can do in 1 day = 1/12   Amount of work P, Q and R can together do in 1 day = 1/4   Amount of work R can do in 1 day = 1/4 - (1/16 + 1/12) = 3/16 – 1/12 = 5/48   =&gt; Hence R can do the job on 48/5 days = 9 (3/5) days   ANSW9 3/5R:9 3/5
