Correct Answer: $8 \frac{2}{11}$ days
Solution : Total Work = Least Common Multiple (10, 20, 30) = 60 The rate of A ⇒ $\frac{60}{10}$ = 6 units The rate of B ⇒ $\frac{60}{20}$ = 3 units The rate of C ⇒ $\frac{60}{30}$ = 2 units In 3 days, Total work done = 6 × 2 + (6 + 3 + 2) = 23 units ⇒ total work done in 6 days = 23 × 2 = 46 units Next 2 days, work done = 6 + 6 = 12 units ⇒ Remaining Work = 60 - 46 - 12 = 2 Time taken for the remaining work = $\frac{2}{6+3+2}$ = $\frac{2}{11}$ ⇒ Total time = 8 + $\frac{2}{11}$ days Hence, the correct answer is 8$\frac{2}{11}$ days
