We know that Pat, Quinn \& Rob take 4 hours, 6 hours \& 8 hours respectively to complete the same amount of work individually, so their combined speed is $14+16+18=6+4+324=1324$
Finally the percentage of work done by Pat when all three work together is $SpeedofPatCombinedspeedofPat,Quinn&Rob×100=141324×100=613×100∼46%$
Hence the answer is (B).
