    Answer : Option C

    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-sym-oparen-h1 1 + 1 + 1 1-sym-cparen-h1 = 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 1-sym-oparen-h1 24 1-sym-cparen-h1 days = 3 3 days.
