Correct Answer: $9 \frac{1}{3}$
Solution : A, B, and C can do a piece of work in 11 days, 20 days, and 55 days respectively. Total work = LCM(11, 20 and 55) = 220 Efficiency of A = $\frac{220}{11}$ = 20 Efficiency of B = $\frac{220}{20}$ = 11 Efficiency of C = $\frac{220}{55}$ = 4 1st day work = work done by A and B = (20 + 11) = 31 2nd day work = work done by B and C = (11 + 4) = 15 So, 2 days' work = 31 + 15 = 46 Total pairs of days required to work = $\frac{220}{46}$ = $4 + \frac{36}{46}$ So, 4 × 2 = 8 days and remaining work = 36 On the next day, 31 of 36 will be done and the rest 5 will be done in $\frac{5}{15} = \frac{1}{3}$ days. So total days = $9 + \frac{1}{3}$ ∴ Total days required = $9\frac{1}{3}$. Hence, the correct answer is $9\frac{1}{3}$.
