Options:

7

8

10

12

Correct Answer:

7

Explanation:

Here, work is completed by each in 27 days

So, let the total work is = 27,

Therefore, the efficiency of each person = 1 w/d

Now, ATQ

1st day work ( by 1 person)  = 1

2nd day work ( by 2 person)  = 2

3rd day work ( by 3 person)  = 3

4th day work ( by 4 person)  = 4

5th day work ( by 5 person)  = 5

6th day work ( by 6 person)  = 6

Total work done in 6 days = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 21

Remaining work = 27 - 21 = 6

7th day work ( by 6 person)  = 6

Therefore, the work will be completed in total 7 days.
