Correct Answer: 90 days


Solution : Let's the rate of work for U, V, and W are U, V, and W, respectively.
It is given that
U = 3V and V = 2W
⇒ U = 6W
According to the question,
Total Work = (U + V + W) × 10
⇒ Total Work = (6W + 2W + W) × 10 = 90W
$\therefore$ Time taken by W alone = $\frac{90W}{W}$ = 90 days
Hence, the correct answer is 90 days.
