6

12

9

Correct Answer:

6

Explanation:

The above chart was obtained after following the details of the question:

Efficiency of A+B = 3

Efficiency of B+C = 2

Efficiency of A+C = 3

Efficiency of 2(A + B + C) = 8

Efficiency of A + B + C = 4

Days required by A, B  and C together to complete the work = \(\frac{24 }{ 4}\) = 6 days
