Correct Answer: $\frac{84}{13}$ days
Solution : One day's work of S = $\frac{1}{14}$ One day's work of T = $\frac{1}{21}$ One day's work of U = $\frac{1}{28}$ One day's work of S + T + U = $\frac{1}{14}+\frac{1}{21}+\frac{1}{28}$ = $\frac{6+4+3}{84}$ = $\frac{13}{84}$ So, the work will be completed in $(1÷\frac{13}{84})=\frac{84}{13}$ days. Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{84}{13}$ days.
