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.
