Correct Answer: $7 \frac{11}{19}$
Solution : Given: A, B, and C working alone, can complete a job in 16, 24, and 36 days. 1 day work of A = $\frac{1}{16}$ 1 day work of B = $\frac{1}{24}$ 1 day work of C = $\frac{1}{36}$ 1 day work of A + B + C = $\frac{1}{16}+\frac{1}{24}+\frac{1}{36}$ = $\frac{9+6+4}{144}=\frac{19}{144}$ When they work together, they will finish the work in $\frac{144}{19}=7\frac{11}{19}$ days. Hence, the correct answer is $7\frac{11}{19}$.
