Option 1: 1440
Option 2: 960
Option 3: 1920
Option 4: 1280
Correct Answer: 1440
Solution :
A can do the task in 27 hours and B can do it in 54 hours.

LCM of 27, 54, and 12 is 108.
Let the total work be 108 units.
A's working efficiency =
B's working efficiency =
A and B and C's combined working efficiency =
⇒ C's working efficiency = 9 – 4 – 2 = 3
