A, B and C can complete a piece of work in 24, 6 and 12 days respectively. Working together, they will complete the same work in :

A, B and C can complete a piece of work in 24, 6 and 12 days respectively. Working together, they wil complete the same work in :
[A]4 days
[B]\frac{1}{4} days
[C]3\frac{3}{7} days
[D]\frac{7}{24} days

\mathbf{3\frac{3}{7}} days
A’s 1 day’s work = \frac{1}{24}
B’s 1 day’s work = \frac{1}{6}
C’s 1 day’s work = \frac{1}{12}
(A+B+C)’s 1 day’s work = \frac{1}{24}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{1+4+2}{24}=\frac{7}{24}
∴ The work will be completed by them in \frac{24}{7} i.e. 3\frac{3}{7} days.
