Correct Answer: $\frac{72}{7}$ days
Solution : Given: A alone can do a work in 14 days. B alone can do the same work in 28 days. C alone can do the same work in 56 days. Use the formula, Total work = efficiency × time.
For the last 2 days, B has not worked, while A has not worked for the last 3 days. Let the entire work be finished in $x$ days. ⇒ $4(x–3)+2(x–2)+x=56$ ⇒ $4x–12+2x–4+x=56$ ⇒ $7x=56+16$ ⇒ $7x=72$ ⇒ $x=\frac{72}{7}$ days Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{72}{7}$ days.
