I doubt if this is a jamb question.. M sure it's a job interview or scholarship interview question.

I will say the solution is 1 hour (I don't if I am correct), but think it is a simple ratio. Now,
the sum total of the time they worked is 4+8+20=32
The fraction of time they worked is P= 1/8, Q= 2/8, R= 5/8 .
And the time it take to finish the job if three of them worked together is
1/8 + 2/8 + 5/8 = 8/8 = 1 hour.

Take any two first

4*8 =32
4+8=12
32/12=2.6667

2.6667*20=53.34
2.6667+20=22.667

53.34/22.667=2.353 ANS

you're correct. But if you convert 2.353h to minute it'll give you 2h 21minute which is the correct answer.
