    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the number of units of work done by Arijit, Benny and Chetna alone be 8a, 5a and 6a units per day, respectively. So, total work = 12 × (8a + 5a + 6a) = 228a units So, time taken by Arijit alone to complete the whole work = 228a/8a = 28.5 days
