Correct Answer: 1 hour 20 minutes
Solution :
Given, O, T, and P can do a piece of work in 3, 4, and 6 hours respectively.
One day work of O, T, and P will be $\frac{1}{3}$, $\frac{1}{4}$, and $\frac{1}{6}$ respectively.
Total one day work of O, T, and P together $=$$\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{9}{12}$
Time taken by them to complete the work $= \frac{12}{9}=\frac{4}{3}$ hours = 1 hour 20 minutes
Hence, the correct answer is 1 hour 20 minutes.
