Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 16

LCM of (10, 24, 36)

LCM = 72 = total work unit

(A + B) + (B + C) + (A + C) = 4 + 3 + 2

2(A + B + C) = 9

A + B + C = 9/2 units/day

Working together, they can complete the work in = 72/(9/2) = 16 days
