    A) 5 days 

    B)                      6 days

    C) 10days             

    D) \[10\frac{1}{2}\]days

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] In 3 days work done by B and C \[=3\times \left( \frac{1}{9}\times \frac{1}{12} \right)\] \[=\frac{7}{12}\] Remaining work to be finished by \[A=1-\frac{7}{12}=\frac{5}{12}\] \[\therefore \] A can do it in \[24\times \frac{5}{12}\] days i.e. in 10 days.
