Answer : 1. "4/3 days"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 4/3 days Explanation: Let the total number of documents to be printed be 12. The number of documents printed by P in 1 day = 4. The number of documents printed by Q in 1 day = 3. The number of documents printed by R in 1 day = 2. Thus, the total number of documents that can be printed by all the machines working simultaneously in a single day = 9. Therefore, the number of days taken to complete the whole work = 12/9 = 4/3 days.
