    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    One day work of A, B and C = 1/24 + 1/30 + 1/40 = 1/10 Work done by A and B together in the last 4 days = 4*(1/24 + 1/30) = 3/10
    Remaining work = 7/10
    The number of days required for this initial work = 7 days.
    The total number of days required = 4 + 7 = 11 days.
