Correct Answer: $7 \frac{7}{11}$
Solution : The time taken by X, Y, and Z to complete work alone is 14, 28 and 42 days, respectively. So, 1 day's work of X, Y, and Z, respectively is $\frac{1}{14}, \frac{1}{28}, \frac{1}{42}$. Their total 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{14}+ \frac{1}{28}+ \frac{1}{42}$ = $\frac{(6+3+2)}{84}$ = $\frac{11}{84}$ So, total time is taken if X, Y, and Z working together = $\frac{84}{11}=7\frac{7}{11}$ days Hence, the correct answer is $7\frac{7}{11}$.
