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.
