    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the total work be 510 units (LCM of 51, 85 and 102)

    Efficiency of 'Aman' = (510/51) = 10 units/day

    Efficiency of 'Bhanu' = (510/85) = 6 units/day

    Efficiency of 'Chintu' = (510/102) = 5 units/day

    Let the time taken to complete the work be 'd' days.

    So, (10 + 6 + 5) X (d - 19) + (10 + 5) X 10 + 5 X 9 = 510

    Or, 21d - 399 + 150 + 45 = 510

    Or, 21d = 714

    Or, 'd' = 34
