Correct Answer: 3 days


Solution : Given,
Time taken by Rohit and Mohit to complete a piece of work = 4 days
We know, Efficiency = $\frac{1}{\text{Time taken}}$
⇒ Efficiency of Rohit and Mohit together = $\frac14$
Also, Ram and Shyam can do the same work in 12 days.
⇒ Efficiency of Ram and Shyam together = $\frac{1}{12}$
⇒ Efficiency of Rohit, Mohit, Ram, and Shyam together = $\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{4}{12}=\frac13$
$\therefore$ Time taken by Rohit, Mohit, Ram, and Shyam together = 3 days
Hence, the correct answer is 3 days.
