( ∵ LCM of 6, 9 and 3 is 18.)
Efficiency of (A) = work/time = 18/6 = 3 units/day
Efficiency of (B) = 18/9 = 2 units/day
Efficiency of ((A) + (B) + C) = 18/3 = 6 units/day
Efficiency of (C) = Efficiency of ((A) + (B) + C) – Efficiency of (A) – Efficiency of (B) = 6 – 3 – 2 = 1 unit/day Time taken by (C) to complete work alone = 18/1 = 18 days
