C Correct answer
Explanation

P: 1/4 work in 10 days -> 1 work in 40 days. Q: 0.4 work in 40 days -> 1 work in 100 days. R: 1/3 work in 13 days -> 1 work in 39 days. R takes the least time.

AI explanation

Using the unitary method, P takes 10 days multiplied by 4, yielding 40 days to complete the full work. Q takes 40 days divided by 0.40, yielding 100 days to complete the full work. R takes 13 days multiplied by 3, yielding 39 days to complete the full work. Comparing the total times of 40, 100, and 39 days, R takes the minimum time and finishes first.
