Correct Answer: 6


Solution : The time taken by X, Y, and Z to complete the work is 20, 12, and 28 days respectively.
Work done by X, Y, and Z in a day is $\frac{1}{20}$, $\frac{1}{12}$, and $\frac{1}{28}$ respectively.
Work done by X, Y, and Z together in a day = $\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{28}$ = $\frac{71}{420}$
So, time is taken by X, Y, and Z to complete the work together = $ \frac{420}{71}\approx$ 6 days
Hence, the correct answer is 6.
