    D All I, II and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From I and II: We have number of days in which 12 girls can complete the work. So using efficiency we can find the number of days required by boy to complete the work and then the required answer From II and III: We have number of days in which 12 girls can complete the work. So days required by child can be find out, and then by boys. From I and III: We get 3 equations in 3 variables – boy, girls and child. So can be found.
