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:
1 day
24
7 day
24
3 3 days
7
4 days
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Formula: If A can do a piece of work in n days, then A's 1 day's work = 1 .
n

(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = 1 + 1 + 1 = 7 .
24 6 12 24

Formula: If A's 1 day's work = 1 , then A can finish the work in n days.
n

So, all the three together will complete the job in 24 days = 3 3 days.
