Correct Answer: 8 days
Solution : $N_1$ alone can do 20% of a piece of work in 6 days. = 100% = 30 days $N_2$ alone can do 20% of the same work in 4 days. = 100% = 20 days $N_3$ alone can do 50% of the same work in 12 days. = 100% = 24 days Total work = Time × Efficiency Total work = LCM(30, 20, 24) = 120 units Efficiency of $N_1$= $\frac{120}{30}$ = 4 Efficiency of $N_2$ = $\frac{120}{20}$ = 6 Efficiency of $N_3$ = $\frac{120}{24}$ = 5 Total of efficiency = 4 + 6 + 5 = 15 All of them working together finish the work = $\frac{120}{15}$ = 8 days Hence, the correct answer is 8 days.
