Correct Answer: 12 hours


Solution : 1 hour task of (A + B) = $\frac{1}{6}$
1 hour task of (A + B + C) = $\frac{1}{4}$
The task done by C alone in a day
= $\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{6}$
= $\frac{6-4}{24}$
= $\frac{2}{24}$
= $\frac{1}{12}$
So C alone can complete the whole work in 12 hours.
Hence, the correct answer is 12 hours.
