Given : 

2P = 3Q

5Q = 4R

Calculation : 

By going through ratio method,

⇒ P : Q = 3 : 2

⇒ Q : R = 4 : 5

Now by making Q same both the side,

⇒ P : Q = 6 : 4, Q : R = 4 : 5

⇒ P : Q : R = 6 : 4 : 5

∴ The correct answer is 6 : 4 : 5.

Given:

Raj's work completion time = 20 days

Pratap's work completion time = 1/2 × Raj's time = 10 days

Part of the work to be completed together = 3/5

Formula used:

Time = Work / Combined work rate

Calculation:

LCM of 10, 20 is 20.

Raj's work rate = 20/20 = 1

Pratap's work rate =20/10 = 2

To calculate the number of days required to complete 3/5 of the total work

(20 × 3/5)/3

12/3

4

Therefore, both Raj and Pratap together will complete 3/5 of the total work in 4 days.
