Correct Answer: 9 days
Solution : According to the question (A + B + C)'s 1 day work = $\frac{1}{6}$ (A + B)'s 1 day work = $\frac{1}{12}$ B's 1 day work = $\frac{1}{18}$ ⇒ (A + C)'s 1 day work = $\frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{18}$ = $\frac{1}{9}$ ⇒ Time taken by A and C together = $\frac{1}{Rate}$ = $\frac{1}{\frac{1}{9}}$ = 9 days Hence, the correct answer is 9 days.
