Correct Answer: 9 days
Solution : Let the total work = Least Common Multiple of 18, 27, 54 = 54 units Efficiency of S 1 + S 2 = $\frac{54}{18}$ = 3 Efficiency of S 2 + S 3 = $\frac{54}{27}$ = 2 Efficiency of S 3 + S 1 = $\frac{54}{54}$ = 1 Combine efficiency of 2(S 1 + S 2 + S 3 ) = 6 units/day ⇒Efficiency of (S 1 + S 2 + S 3 ) = 3 units/day ⇒ Half work = $\frac{54}{2}$ = 27 ⇒ Time is taken to finish 50% of work by all the three together = $\frac{27}{3}$ = 9 Hence, the correct answer is 9 days.
