  • A 13
  • B 16
  • C 8
  • D 5
Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

If the combined work rate of A, B, and C is 1/6 of the task per day,
the work rate of A and B is 1/8 of the task per day,
and the work rate of B and C is 1/12 of the task per day,
then the work rate of A and C is
(2 x 1/8 - 1/12) of the task per day,
which is equal to 1/8 of the task per day.
Therefore, A and C will take 8 days to complete the work together
