Correct Answer: 4 days


Solution : 1 day's work of A = $\frac{1}{9}$
1 day's work of B = $\frac{1}{12}$
1 day's work of A = $\frac{1}{18}$
1 day's work of (A + B + C) $=\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{18}=\frac{4+3+2}{36}=\frac{9}{36}$
$\therefore$ So they can complete the whole work in $\frac{36}{9}$ = 4 days
Hence, the correct answer is 4 days.
