A. 2 hours
B. 5 hours
C. 6 hours
D. 8 hours
E. None of these
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Reena's 1 hour's work}} = \frac{1}{6}{\text{ }} \cr & {\text{Aastha's 1 hour's work}} = \frac{1}{4}{\text{ }} \cr & {\text{Shloka's 1 hour's work}} = \frac{1}{{12}}{\text{ }} \cr} $$( Reena + Aastha + Shloka )'s 1 hour's work
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6}{\text{ + }}\frac{1}{{12}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\frac{6}{{12}} \cr & = \frac{1}{2} \cr} $$
Hence, Reema, Aastha and Shloka together take 2 hours to complete the work.
