Answer»

Answer:

\frac{72}{13} days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us GIVE the JOB a value of 1.

A and B require 6 days to finish the job

⇒A and B finish  \frac{1}{6} of the job in 1 day.

A + B = \frac{1}{6}

Similarly we can say that,

B + C =  \frac{1}{9} and

A + C = \frac{1}{12}

Adding all of these,

A + B + B + C + C + A = \frac{1}{6} +  \frac{1}{9} +\frac{1}{12}

2A + 2B + 2C = \frac{6+4+3}{36}

2(A + B + C) = \frac{13}{36}

A + B + C = \frac{13}{72}

Therefore, they can complete the WORK in \frac{72}{13} days.
