Correct Answer: $\frac{85}{4}$
Solution : Let the total work be 120 units. As LCM of 30, 40 and 60 is 120 units. The efficiency of Ruchi, Khushi and Teju = 4, 3, 2 In 3 days, the total work complete = 4 + 4 + 9 = 17 units of work In 21 days, the total work completed = 17 × 7 = 119 units of work The remaining 1 unit will be completed by Ruchi in $\frac{1}{4}$ days. $\therefore$ The total time = 21 + $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{85}{4}$ days Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{85}{4}$.
